Hi Steven,

[Thus spake Steven Anderson unto Sunny Leung:]

 SL> Surely the USR Courier doesn't fall into that category :-) All the new

 SA> Yeah, I loaded the US Code onto my Courier, and she made my modem

 SA> (And DID NOT carry  out that command :(.. Lucky the '95 Code loaded

Phew. I get worried all the time when I'm uploading new flash ROM code.
I killed my motherboard once when I upgraded its flash ROM with new code
- I had to send in my flash EPROM (whatever) to be reflashed properly.
It was an experience I'd rather not have again.

 SA> I am playing with fire here, Loading SDL's :), I dont know if I will
 SA> try  again.. How about all you Courier Modem Owners buying me a Courier
 SA> if I fry  mine trying to get a SDL for usto use  :)

You are indeed playing with fire. I wish Online Communications would get
off their butts and persuade USR to give us some new Aussie Courier
code. It's something Online will have to do anyway, in order to catch up
with competitors selling modems with new features.
