I really like Supras too - but the only way you will get my USR 5687 away from me is to pry it out of my cold dead fingers......

If you have a decent phone line, you can't beat the Supra Express - but on crappy lines like mine, the USR is the best, as long as it's a hardware Sportster or Courier. My initial connect speed is slower with the USR, but it trains up and sustains good download speeds like no other modem I have tried.

Interesting you should say that about 3Com equipment, flop - when my previous ISP went to 3Com from Ascend, my performance went down the toilet with the USR modem. My current ISP is using Cisco, and the Sportster blows away the Supra I tried.
