My guess is not.
The US v.90 code was/is very buggy. So much so, that when a call hung up on one port, it reset the modem causing the other BRI channel to disconnect as well.
When I spoke last with 3com tech support (last week), they indicated that these boxen will be discontinued soon, and continued support was questionable at best.

After this experience, we are planning on avoiding ALL 3com/USR products in the future. It has been almost a year since our purchase of these units, and despite the promises of v.90 compatibility, it has still not been delivered in a useful form. Companies which pull this bait-and-switch should not be tolerated.
