And even if I did, I wouldn't know where to begin.  The reason I ask is
that the US govt has gone a bit weird lately (so what else is new?) and has
just recently restricted V.34+ technology to the mainland US, which means
that if anybody can come up with a V.34+ EPROM replacement for Austel V.34
Sportsters, they could stand to make a few bucks (as long as they weren't
caught).
