- I've called USR twice now (second time to confirm it) and have been
- told flat out that there is no upgrade for the internal 28.8 vi model.
- I've also read in this group that if the model was purchased late in
- 95 (Nov, Dec, Jan 96), it is a "mule", i.e. there is NO upgrade
- planned at all for it. Models sold after this period, as I've read,
- are based on a different hardware design, and are already 33.6.

- If someone know's differently, please respond.
