Hmmmm... I have two Sportsters. One is a 33.6 model (product code is
000839-07), which uses a 9VAC supply, 1000ma, labeled USR part number
1.015.1286. The other one is an older 28.8 model (product code is
000839-01), and it uses a 20VAC (!) supply, 500ma, labeled p/n 1.015.1202-B.
Neither modem has any marking stating its power requirements. Sweet. The
plugs on both are very similar, both black banded 5.5mm female, but the
center hole is 2.1mm on the 20V supply, 2.5mm on the 9V supply. Just a
quick peek at the Jameco catalog looks like their equivalent part number for
the 9V supply is 157041 for $5.95 (caveat emptor... I can't confirm this is
a working replacement, it just looks right).

I picked up 2 of the sportster 33.6's (white). One is for PC, the other is
a Mac modem. The PC box has a larger center pin (same as the Motorola),
than the Mac modem.
Found lots of sportster info on the wweb, but not a word on power supplies.

I have a couple of (almost classic) external modems
missing the wall
warts. Anyone on list running either of these that can provide the dc
voltage/current requirements? Thanks.

The Sportster needs a 9VAC supply (if that is the "standard" white
Sportster modem anyway). I have tons of these modems also in need of
supplies.
