RL> The Web site actually says it is a "flash upgradeable
ROM". Semantics
 RL> here, but to me this means that it has a ROM that can be upgraded to
 RL> flash. Difference being an "upgradeable flash ROM", meaning a ROM
 RL> that can be flashed.. The same is said on many motherboards that
 RL> *can* have a flash ROM fitted.

This may be so, but it's misleading nonetheless. 99.99% of the people
reading the above would think the modem is flash upgradable out of the box.

 RL> The real problem lays with Askey. Are they going to release a
 RL> flashable ROM??

Dynalink sales staff denied that is was flash upgradable. If it was an
option or might be available in the future, you would think they would
mention it to anyone and everyone.

 RL> They do recognise dial/busy here. They, like a US Courier here,
 RL> sometimes get confused with the dial tone.

OK. Good, but not perfect.

 FF>> Someone's telling fibs, me thinks.

 RL> Or confused.

Or some dodgy advertising.

 FF>> Still, it's very cheap for a 33.6k modem .....

 RL> Damn right there.

I've seen USR Courier's for only $475. USR, here I come :-)

Frank
