- given that they haven't fixed their current crap load of problems,yet,
- don't hold your breath. No upgrade since months (they used to churn out

- upgrade is easy with FlashRom: NOTHING LIKE DAT ?): 1.09 just made things
- a lot *WORSE* (connect rate to USR Couriers dropped to 60%), still
- nothing better than 26k/24k and 26k/26k connects, plus announced
- decline of a 33.3k upgrade (cause the DSPs are obviously out of horsepower).
