I have a one-year old 144LC that is practically a paperweight.   I would very 
much like to "upgrade" it too.  But I doubt that there is such an upgrade 
path option available from Supra.    Keep in touch and let me know what you 
end up doing with the 144LC.   
Mine seems to have a major problem when operating in 14.4k speeds in the  
RECEIVE channel.  The best it can do on both channels without causing errors 
and retries is 9600bps.    I merely swapped the modem with a super-cheap 
QuickTel XEBA 14.4k modem.  The QuickTel works better than the Supra 144LC 
ever did.   The brand new QuickTel was half the cost of the 144LC.   !!!
One supra tech person suggested that I try replacing the ROM.  For that, it 
only requires sending in the serial number of the modem and a mailing 
address.   I will consider that before the 5yr warrany runs out.
