- Well if URS is still doing there TradeIn program, then YES you can Trade in
- your Modem to the New V.Everything Modems! Yes they have V.FC, but you would
- get a Newer Upgrade then what that old text file said. Yes it would be
- Upgradable also by FlashRAM. They support HST, V34+, V.32terbo,. and many
- many more V proticals, which is why it's the V.Everything. You have the
- modem, then by ALL means Upgrade, it'll be WELL worth it! Can't beat the
- price.
