I'm pretty sure the USR Sportsters were all Winmodems.  That means it won't
work with Linux (or DOS, or anything but Windoze).  It's a cheap hunk of
comm hardware that uses some proprietary software to make it act like a
modem.

>Any ideas?

Check one of the many modem lists to be absolutely certain, but I'm about
99% sure it's a winmodem.  If so, your only recourse is to get another modem
(one that has full functionality on the card).
