- Wherever have you been? There's been several .sdls and ROM updates
- (upgrades to V34+ even) for USR's, several FlashROM updates for Supra,
- and a ROM update for Zoom, etc

- Rockwell make the chipset for the last two (and more besides). Firmware
- updates are the responsibility of the OEM. If you go for an "el-cheeepo"
- then don't be surprised if you don't get the same level of support that a
- serious modem maker gives
