I got a Sportster 14.4 too.  Great modem deal.  Makes nice graduation gift.
First, you have to get a hardware handshaking cable.  I got mine for $9
($3 plus $6 shipping!) and I'll post the address when I get back to my GS
at home.  Use the USR Dual Standard (CTS/RTS) to config the init string.
One or two commands won't work and you might have to add one or two but
that's basically it.
