- any courier modem (except for the "us robotics courier 2400") is egliable
- to be upgraded to a v.everything modem, which is the same thing as a
- "Us robotics courier v.34 DUAL STANDARD", for either $249 for a modem
- trade in or $199 for a daughterboard that fits on some of the newer
- models [square led's] last november or so HST modulation was added
- in a flash rom update so basically any courier v.everything you connect
- too (which is what most isp's use) would give you a 14.4/16.8 HST
- connect..
-
- so therefor your incorrect. IF anyone in the united states has a old
- courier hst laying around.. get it upgraded.. its only 199-249 dollars, heh..
- order the upgrades from the bbs at 1 708 982 5092 and type TRADEIN at
- the main menu. enter your serial number, shipping address, etc.
- sometimes it may take a little while to ship, like 30-60 days or so
- but i have heard they are shipping them faster now. its a heck of
- a deal. and remember: DO NOT send in any OLD MODEMS or OLD DAUGHTERCARDS
- until you recieve your new modem first! when you get your new v.everything
- then is the time to send in your old modem
