- I have one as well. I read a word docuemnt (3368faq.doc dated 1/??/96) from
- USR's ftp site that contains the following:
-
-
- "Q. Which models of Sportster do not currently support 33,600.
- A. Sportster Vi non Plug and Play
- Sportster Vi with DSVD
- Sportster Si
- Sportster PCMCIA and WorldPort modems.
-
- Q. Can I place an order for a 33,600 firmware upgrade if my modem is not
- on the supported list?
- A. No, these units do not have a 33,600 upgrade as of yet. We will post
- more information when and if 33,600 is offered for these models. "
-
-
- If anyone has any information indicating otherwise I would love to hear it but
- it looks like USR is letting us down (at least for now). I'm REALLY anoyed
- because the main reason I bought the DSVD modem was for the upgradability of
- the FLASH BIOS. Not the #@$#! DSVD!
-
- USR's performance here will help to determine "when and if" I'll ever use their
- products again...
