AA>   FL_1XXDN.EXE (flasher DOWN from newer versions)

        Well its due to a programming oddity.
        The Version 2.xx flasher utility can't handle 
        flashing 1.440-09 or later (33.6k) ROM code modems.
        The Version 3.xx flasher utility can't handle
        flashing 1.200-09 or earlier ROM code modems.
        So depending on wether you're going up to the 1.300-13 
        code or down from a 1.300-13 you'll need one or the other.
