- I'm afraid the flash upgradability doesn't pertain to the DSP code, as many
- people on this newsgroup (myself included) originally thought. Therefore,
- Motorola can't just give you a flash update for a faster protocol (as USR did
- with the Couriers). However, one thing Motorola DID do was make the modem
- Plug'n'Play compliant for Win95. The update which included a compatibility
- patch to compensate for buggy Rockwell-based modems also made the modem
- Plug'n'Play compliant.

- There have been rumors (although they've quieted down lately) that Motorola
- might offer a trade-in upgrade to 33.6k for existing Power owners, but nothing
- official has been forthcoming, and the rumors died down, so that looks
- unlikely.
