well, I already have my working 33.6k sportster.  If I *buy* anything,
it'll be an ISDN TA that will work on US ISDN switches.  I'm not too
impressed with the USR one that Richard is using in the SLC office right
now, though.  We could only get it to work on the mac - pppd was
complaining about the line not being 8-bit clean when talking to the
sportster.  I don't know if it's hardware or software related, though.
I'm going to have another crack at it on Wed. or Thurs. this week when I'm
back in the USA for a bit.

What other options are there?  I know the Hayes models will work with
Linux just fine... what about the Motorolas?
