Subj : BACK IN BUSINESS To : Sean Dennis From : Tom Walker Date : Fri Feb 11 2005 06:09 am -> I purchased a USR external v.everything 33.6K Courier for $17 off of half.com a -> few years ago. It's rock solid, works under any OS I've tried, with any BBS -> software. If it connects to another USR Courier, it's like a five second -> proprietary handshake...really cool. -> I'd never part with this modem and if something happened to it, I'd cry. -> USR is /still/ making Couriers, BTW. They're called "business-class" -> modems...put them in a closet and forget about it. :) Interestingly my Beloved upgraded to 56K US Robotics Courier Veverything gets slower connects then the wides cheap Creative modem Blaster. I rarely get higher then 40,000 connects while she typicaly gets 44,000 using the same phone line. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Shakey Jake's *ALL FREE BBS* Santee, CA (1:202/1324) .
