- JH> Subject: Rockwell (Zoom) manual v.fc->v.34 upgrade
- JH> I have run across a person selling a Rockwell datapump which he claims
- JH> will upgrade a Rockwell based modem from V.fc to V.34.
-
- How does he know if he hasn't the firmware to go with?
-
- JH> that this will involve a firmware upgrade, but what else needs to be
- JH> considered? I have a Zoom external V.FC modem, and I'm pretty sure
- JH> that I can get the firmware from Zoom.
-
- The upgrade from Zoom not only means changing datapump and firmware but
- some other components as well. Taking another upgrade path would invalidate
- the warranty. For sysops (in US/Canada) or those who've bought their V.FC
- under the original sysop programme the factory approved upgrade is US $69
- inc. UPS ground return for both 24k and 28k8. For others it's US $89 for
- the 28k8 and US $109 for the 24k.
-
- You can get your V34 first then send in your V.FC to avoid being off line
-
- The files are:
-
- UPGRADE.TXT [08] V34 upgrade program for V.FC internal and external
- 24k and 28k8 series. Full details and application
- forms (see SYSUP.TXT for Nodelisted SysOps)
- SYSUP.TXT [10] Current SysOp deal for upgrading VFC 24k and 28k8
- modems to V34 (includes modems bought under original
- SysOp program before international orders were cancelled)
-
- Available for d/load from panel or the ZoomTel BBS or www site
