- Uh, I think there *was* mention of a Courier 1200 at the time when I got
- my first Courier (14400 HST and V.32).

- Hmm... my memory is getting hazy, but this is what I recall:
-
- - 14400 HST, V.32: large footprint, round LEDs
- Models: Courier 14400 HST, Courier 14400 HST Dual Standard
- (V.32 by way of a Rockwell R9696 daughterboard. I don't remember a
- Courier V.32.)
-
- - 14400 HST, V.32bis: large footprint, square LEDs
- Models: Courier 14400 HST, Courier 14400 HST DS, Courier V.32bis
- (I still have a Dual Standard of that generation sitting on the shelf
- as a back-up.)
-
- - 16800 HST, V.32bis: small footprint, daughterboard
- Models: Courier 16800 HST, Courier 16800 HST DS, Courier V.32bis
- (I think this generation was the first to add fax, too.)
-
- - 21600 V.32terbo, 16800 HST: small footprint, new daughterboard
- Models: Courier DS, Courier V.32terbo
-
- - 28800 V.FC, ...: small footprint, no daughterboard,
- new daughterboards for the older modems
- Models: Courier DS, Courier V.34 Ready

-
- It seems the "V.Everything" (misleading name) modems sold in Europe are
- actually daughterboard designs. They've always been Dual Standards, too.
- I've never been able to fathom USR's international product policy.
