- Granted, they are. But for those who want it, you still won't be able
- to upgrade a Courier to have a display which some people like to have
- (and some don't care--but I'm not talking about those people).

- Once Supra upgrades their modems to 33.6, who knows what else the new
- datapump upgrade may include: like more of the v.34 options and fixes
- of problems known with the regular 28.8 v.34 datapump. And even if
- the upgrade costs $100, it'd still be approx $70-$100 cheaper than a
- Courier.
