Oh, how I wish you were right -- I just received my
enable-key and can now upgrade to X2 and V.90.
Unfortunately, my ISP's tech support still says they
don't know when they'll receive the V.90 uprade for
their Ascend (K56flex) routers.
Maybe I'll test my upgrade by calling a BBS I know
that uses a Courier I-modem....
