David continues on to say 'best $250 ever spent'.  I'm slightly confused
there, as it's the USR Sportster that appears to be the $250 approx price
point, where the USR Courier appears to be nearly double that.  Secondly,
V.everything: are you saying that your USR has X2,Kflex,andV.90?  If not,
which ones does it have, and lastly, which bank are you dialing into -
v.90/kflex/x2?

Andrew's comments reflect a number of responces I've received regarding
X2's superiority as a protocol - what I'm concerned at, is if I buy the
v.90/x2 Sportster, can I still dial into a Kflex bank due to the v.90?  I
don't think so, but I wish it would, as I'd immediately buy the Sportster.

Andrew/David/anyone - care to clarify?

Cheers,
David
