 Well, I never heard of Programmable Rockwell chipset, but I'd be happy
 to know if they have those DPS chipsets. I believe the two major company
 that will come out with X2 software upgrade is USR and ZyXel. IBM's MWave
 seems to be a bit too weak in processing data... it chokes when you play
 sound and run 28.8... anyone know any other modems that allows software
 upgrade for X2?

 Wouldn't that signal level cause clipping with 56K transmission?
 RC> The Courier has flash ROM and a programmable DSP.
 Yes, I'm aware of that fact, and that's the reason that I buy Courier...
... Don't question authority.  It doesn't know either.
