If memory serves (and it has been a few years), CRS
was a Hayes shop. As for Internet Direct (who I used
to work for), they had hundreds of USR Sportster
external modems before going to the Total Control Hubs
(which caused me a great deal of grief. We knew we had
air conditioning problems in the office that housed
the Total Control Hubs, what it took us a while to
understand was just how heat sensitive those units
were... Also explains why I now hate Vivali's "The
Four Seasons" (a basically innocuous bit of classical
music) which USR used to use as their on-hold music (I
heard that way too often and way too long :-( ).
