Sorry for the delay, I've been away from my mail these days...
I'm pretty sure about it, the Sportster Si 14400 is RPI. I think it's the
only RPI modem they make, their other crap models are Winmodems. It came
out before they "invented" the winmodem, when they needed some low-end
model to compete with the "glue'n'go" manufacturers that were selling a
lot of RPI modems, thanks to lack of customer information. The price
difference from a Sportster to a Zoltrix was somewhat big (at least here
in Brazil), and people had a hard time to follow my advice of not buying
the RPI's... Thank god, RPI seems to be forgotten nowadays, only the
winmodem is still here.
See ya,
Nelson
