Stay away from USR WinModems. They are not worth their discounted
price. They dont work under NT or anything except Win95, where they
dont work well.

Get a real USR Sportster not the WinModem.

When you say, "DOS modem," I assume that you mean a DATA/FAX, because I
have never heard of a DOS modem. A Windows modem will not work with DOS
based games such as NASCAR2. But there is a trad of with that. With a
Windows based modem you will get faster Internet connections, ping
times, and faster download times. Oh yeah, and if you have quake get the
winquake patch, that will allow you to use a winmodem for quake.

Now, a DATA/FAX will work under DOS and Windows 95. You won't get as
fast Internet connection, but you can play games for DOS and WIN95 over
the modem. A DATA/FAX also has much better fax performance. If you do
alot of modem *** from DOS my advise to you is to get a 56k DATA/FAX.
Other wise goto a X2 modem, you won't be able to use DOS stuff with it,
but all WIN95 transactions will be a lot better in the long run.
