I definitely used the USR BBS... as a WWIV
sysop I was a huge believer in
the USR Courier and was in the sysop program for the life of my bbs (once I
could afford to get in to the Courier, before that, it was a SupraModem
2400). So I'm sure I would have seen and used the code William spoke of.

didn't trust internal modems and my experience with the Sportster
taught me that the extra money for the Courier was worth it.
I was not a fan of the
sportster, I worshipped the Courier and V.Everything
modems. But you have to admit, the sportster was still better than all these
"WinModems" of today.
I still have two V.Everything modems, both are in flawless working
condition. And one of them still has the gold plate on the top saying "Sysop
BBS Program, not for resale".
