NEWS -- USR Sportster 28.8: . . .USR announced a ROM upgrade about 5 May 95 which fixs the "Spiraling Death Syndrome". The ROM is free to Sporster V.34 owners. Check your current ROM date with an ati7 command, and if you do not have a ROM dated May 95 or newer, you need either this free upgrade, or the 33.6 kbps V.34 $25 ROM upgrade mentioned above. If you want to get the free ROM, I suggest you order from the USR BBS -- have your serial number handy, use your modem and comm program to call 1-708-982-5092, and simply type "SPV34" from the main menu and then follow the directions. If you got 28.8 Sportster as part of an OEM computer package and have trouble inputting your serial number on USR's bulletin board when trying to get the spv34 upgrade chip, you need to contact USR customer service -- call 708-982-5151 and prompt for Technical Support.
