| Always nice to see some dial-up ISPs still holding on. I still have a free Juno account that I made back in 2006. Of course, I don't use it much these days, but it's fun to mess around with once in a ... |

Looking for the GVC F-1156IV/A2A driver for that modem, and the US Robotics Sportster 04061.
