Does anyone own or are you familiar with this Modem? I have came by one but don't know if the power adapter is correct. Itis 20 VAC output [written on the adapter]. Thanks in advance for any help.

I've got one too. I need to share this, maybe someone can help me out. My Sportster is 56K, V.90 complaint. Well, the thing disconnects me whenever it feels like it. I have replaced everything on the computer and the problem persists. It was fixed when I was lent a MultiTech 28K modem and replaced the Sportster. 3Com told me to place the init config string at&F1 when the modem is initialized and to lower the maximum speed to 38400 both in the Modem applet in Control Panel and in the same field of the Properties dialog box of the ISP connection in the applet used to connect by telephone to external networks. Has anyone had similar behavior?? Thanks for your attention, sorry to interrupt this post like this.
