I am using a 56k USR, I don't know if it's a sportster due to the way I had to 
physically attach it (it's plugged into the unrecognized winmodem and it's 
way back there under my desk).

When I installed it, I ran the internet configuration wizard from the KDE gui 
menu and then just followed the directions, inserting my ISP's phone number 
and letting the tool select generic and/or default settings on the actual 
modem settings and it dialed in -- just like that.
