- the trade in will trade your modem to a courier v.34 "v.everything" that will
- support HST, flash rom, flashable dsp, etc. disregard any mention of v.fc
- only. the models are the same. no real difference. the only 2 changes in
- the v.34 courier line were:
-
- 1) the daughtercards arent used in the newer models, so your modem is only
- a single board.
-
- 2) they dropped the v.34 only model and sell the dual standard version
- as the standard v.34 model..
-
- go for the trade in. great deal. only costs $249 plus s/h
-
- DONT SEND IN YOUR OLD MODEM UNTIL YOU RECIEVED YOUR RMA NUMBER AND YOUR
- NEW MODEM!
