Hi CLINT,

[Thus spake CLINT PHEENEY unto SUNNY LEUNG:]

 SL> Will caller-ID and distinctive ring require hardware
 SL> upgrades for the Courier, or does the current Courier
 SL> hardware have enough grunt to cope with these new features?

 CP> The current Courier has the grunt to do it.  No hardware upgrade
 CP> needed UNLESS your Courier is the one with the daughterboard
 CP> (Most (if not all) Australian Couriers have the daugterboard).
 CP> If it has the daughterboard then it will cost $24.95 (US) to do
 CP> the harddware upgrade.

 CP> When you think about it though, what's the point in having
 CP> caller-id in a modem here?

Well, it seems we're getting caller-ID Real Soon Now. The thing is that
with the Courier, most new features are free because you can flash them
into ROM easily. If it doesn't cost anything, why not get it :-)
