Why do you (and others, it would seem) dislike sportsters so?

I walked into a random store, bought myself one, flipped one or two of
the dip switches, and have been using it ever since (since > a year
ago) as the modem that I use to dial in from home...

No problems, and I didn't even have to muck with the registers to get
it to configure reasonably...
