I have had nothing but problems with LT modems. I have had 2 that were dead
out of the box. My feeling is that they are cheaply made and vastly inferior
to USR modems, of which I have had no problems. Some ISP's use cheaper LT
technology and so try to convince their customers to do the same, probably
because of compatibility problems if the user is dialing in on a USR modem.
