The 4 included files 1.BAT, 2.BAT, FIXIT.COM and FIXED.BIN are a recovery
package for a USR Courier V.FC or V.34 modem that has become inoperative
because of a failed attempt to load the flash ROM.
While in most respects the Courier is a fantastic modem, it has one flaw.
A flaw that can be fatal. When you start to apply a new Flash ROM load,
modem resets. If it was off-hook, it returns on-hook. Now while you're
applying the new ROM load if a ring occurs it breaks the modem out with
an incomplete load. After this nothing, repeat NOTHING I've tried will
restore function if you continue with the SDL file.
These programs were released early in the Beta test of the V.FC modem
to correct that condition. Be advised that they do not restore function
to the modem, what they do is initialize the modem to a state where the
SDL can again be applied.
Necessary syntax is provided in the BAT files for Com 1 and Com 2, as far
as I know that's all that's supported, it should be enough. You are
advised to copy these files to a floppy and keep it around just in case.
The program and BAT files were supplied by USR, this READ.ME file was
written by Gene Lowry to meet a critical need.
Good luck,
Gene Lowry
