- After some 45 minutes on hold with USR sales to >ask< whether the 33.6
- upgrade is available for their internal 28.8 Sportsters, I have a) decided
- to never buy a USR modem again, and b) to only order this upgrade
- (spending time on hold, lord knows how long) if I can get SOMEONE to
- confirm that it's available for the internals.... (USR's web pages, and
- the ftp copy of the press release, all say "desktop models" which is
- vague). I've had a good look at the board and finding a programmable ROM
- on it with a version sticker, I suspect the upgrade would be available.
- But I have dealt with USR's strange world before (the
- here-now-gone-now-here SYSOP program).
-
- Can anyone confirm they've gone the upgrade route successfully with a
- V.34 28.8 Sportster internal?
-
- Thanks,
-
