3Com USR 56 k Sportster modems.

[p***@easthope.ca]

Hello again,

I have two or three USR Sportster modems. Well made and would
probably work for decades if need be.

Seems somewhat wasteful to recycle. Is there a practical current use?

Thanks, ... P.

Don't they plug into a laptop PCMCIA port?

That could be the issue, re continued deployment anywhere.
