Skokie, IL January 15, 1993


Very Dear USRobotics Customers,

I am Casey Cowell, the President of 
USRobotics. Many of you wrote me
intresting letters about our
Products. However I feel that
actually there is Much 
disinformation and false rumors
about our Company and Products. 
We can point out,anyway, some of 
our almost bankrupt competitors 
as the Main source of those false
rumors. Our Products are subject
of continuos' improvement, but
there is one serious Limitation:
phone lines. Our Corporation's
tests revels that  with future
Digitalalised phone transmission,
there will be no frontiers about
how Fast a modem  connection will
be: that will be up to the  modem's
quality. AND OUR COMPANY WILL  LEAD
THIS EVOLVING PROCESS.
But,right now, the fastest Achievable
speed is 39,600 Bauds.....

Introducing the brand new........

-------------------------------------
USRobotics Tri-Standard 39,600 Bauds:
The New Milestone in Computerized Fast
Transmissions
------------------------------------

Our Technical Staff has developed what
until 2 years ago was pure dreams.
The new Trial-Standard has a built in
Telephone Answering Machine, Custom
Fax Chip, HST Protocol, CCITT V.32 Bis,
V.42 Bis, all at 39,600 Baud.
The case is entirely designed by
Lamborghini Design Center at Modena,
Italy, And survived the toughest tests
in the Wind Tunnel at Monza's Circuit. 
The material is light weight Fiberglass
and Kevlar.
Watch at the new Countach styled 
instrument's panel, in which the
connection Speed, the status and the
protocol type, are orange illuminated.
Experience the quality of the 
Platinum's plated Serial cable, which 
is Entirely leather's coated, with
genuine American Steel Copper's wires
And Pirelli's isolation and 
stabilization wing. This hi-teach 
Transmission's Tool, has been builted
starting from an  entirely New design 
and building concept, in which the 
user has been putted at the Center of 
it. Here's some major features:  
Never needs  to turn it on, since The 
Modem detects when a valid Terminal 
Software is running. Never needs to 
configurate it, the Modem will analyzes
Your System and Tailors its 
configuration around it. No needs of 
ZModem or others old Transfers 
Protocols: the Modem  will use it's 
2 default transfer's protocols, Which 
assure not less than 18,000 cps for 
compressed  files, and a staggering 
42,000 cps for normal text files.
This precious piece of hardware will 
be Your for 699 Us Dollars.
US or European Power Supply are 
Included.
The sales will beguin March 2, 1993.

=====================================


I think that most of You now knows that 
from the October 12, 1990 -- all
Our Modems have been fitted with Rolex 
clocks; thanks to Joe Fredea from
Bangor, Maine, which pointed out this 
to us. Yes, the clock timing is cru-
cial to our Modem's high performances. 
We could not choice other than the
Well know Rolex Brand, since it is 
first for value, distinction and
Quality. The clock is virtually the 
same mounted on the Rolex Day Date
Datejust President and is, of course, 
in massive gold ( this for the 
Durability ). To the Users that will 
require it, we will send a special
Label to fit in the front panel of 
your HST, HST DS, and Sportser, with
The following text: ' USRobotics(model) 
Timed by Rolex. European Customer can 
obtain the label also writing to Rolex 
Watches Factory In Geneve, Switzerland.
The price of the text label is 12 US 
Dollars.


======================================


Our Modems are designed and builted for 
high-performance trasmissions Between 
Users or Companies. We do not support 
the illegal trasmission Of Commercial 
Software. For to end the this illegal 
activities we, and Most of the 
Software Companies, have decided that 
a digital code will be Encrypted in 
the new produced commercial software: 
it will be not possible To chrunch 
whatsoever this digital code with 
chruncher or compressors as Lzh,Arc,
Zoo,Arj or Dms. The result will be, 
when the illegal transmission of 
Copyrighted Software will begin 
between two USRobotics of Any type 
or year model, such transmission 
will immediately freeze. No Harm 
to the system will be caused, but 
the Users will reboot theirs Computers.
Of course, non Copy Protected Software 
will be freely transmittable since it 
will miss the code. Such coding will 
worldwide  begin  February 24 ,1993

=====================================


Some Users have point out to us that 
the color of USRobotics Modems is
A bit boring. Well, starting from 
January 28, 1993 all the Modems of 
our Production will be available in 
the following colors: Black, Silver 
Chrome, Gold Chrome, Sky Blue, 
Emerald Green, Grand Canyon 
Turquoise and Pink. The new Model, 
the fantastic USR Tri-Standard 39,600
 will be available only In 
Lamborghini's Red.


====================================


I want finally spend some words to 
those who bought our Sportser 14,400
With Rom 1.0: Yes, we now that now 
some of You is using the Sportser as a
Dual Standard, due to a banal mistake 
of our Technical Staff that forgot To 
remove the DS configuration out of the 
Sportser  produced until November 1992. 
We please to immediately end this 
illegal using since you Have not pay 
for the DS possibility. What You do NOT
know, is that from May 2,1993 the Rom 
in Your Sportser Will automatically 
delete the DS mode, leaving left only 
what You have Pay for, a CCITT V.32 bis 
and V.42 bis with Fax possibility. 
That's it! The Dual Standard mode was 
implemented in the Sportser only For 
our internal tests, and just forgotten 
there! But there is a programmed 
expiration date, which nobody can 
change or hack!


======================================


We hope You continue to enjoy the 
quality of our Products.
If You have problems, please contact 
our Technicians.


     Yours Truly
