Just FYI there were maybe a half a dozen totally different internally
versions of the 33.6 sportsters, some AC, some DC, some 9v, some 12v.
etc etc. you have to go by like the first 8 digits of the serial
number to know which modem you have.

USR did this very clever trick, they made a GREAT modem, worked
excellent, and they shipped off a batch to all the reviewers, then
immediately gutted the design and went through a half dozen different
cost reductions for the actual production units.
