- Hehe, too bad that democracy get's thrown out the window in
- situations like this :>. Unfortuantly the datapump on the Supra needs to
- be replaced, just like with the vFC to v.34 upgrade. Only difference been
- that Rockwell apperently gave companies special deals for these upgrade
- chipsets, while Supra (and others using the Rockwell datapump) will likely
- have to pay full price for the 33.6 upgrades. Basically you'll be looking
- at at lesat $50 unless Supra tries to upgrade the modems at a loss (I
- seriously doubt that'll happen).
