- Current (& prior) production Couriers are capable of leased-line
- operations without need of any upgrade patches. Just be aware
- that these are 2-wire lease-line capable, not 4-wire.

- If you're "expecting" 33.6k bps performance, you could be in for
- disappointment. Tho the modem is 33.6k "capable", that capability
- relies on the phone lines being in absolutely pristine condition,
- something you're unlikely to find.
