- The original Motorola Power/LifeStyle modems DID store their DSP
- code in FlashROM/EPROM, it's just in their newer models that they changed
- it. FWIW, the change wasn't made until at least half a year after
- SG14 would have started talking about how to do 33.6, and since Motorola
- is a fairly major player in SG14, they would have known what they needed
- in their DSP code to run at 33.6. Now, whether or not they actualy added
- this code in, only Motorola knows, but it is possible. For now we'll just
- have to wait and see.
