- You're ISP is a bite confused. First, it's not a DSP chip that
- you're replacing (I'd certainly hope not, the DSP chip is that big TI chip
- that soldered onto you're modem :> ), it's just the code that runs you're
- modem. Secondly, the 11/01/95 code that you're ISP is probably is for USR
- Courier modems, not USR Sportsters. The 04/18/95 code that you got is
- latest free firmware for you're modem. You can get a new firmware which
- will ugprade you're modem from 28.8 to 33.6, but that will cost you $25 +
- s/h.
