Whatever you may call -> it, going from that to V.90 should be a simple matter of a software -> upgrade, whenever the new SDL becomes available; and -> there's no reason the tech support person couldn't have said so. It's doubtful I know nearly as much about modems as you do Bruce, but you're beating a dead horse with your pizzin' & moaning. I'd bet the farm once Courier x2-to-V.90 SDL code becomes avalable word will spread like wildfire in this echo. And...you want instant answers about a Courier? Call 1-800-550-7800, the Courier Tech.

TS> the number 1-800-231-8770 or 1-847-982-5010. These numbers would have the upgrade ? I got on the 888 number last night and received congratulations from it saying that I was at 56k. And then I tried the URL to D/L the v.90 and nogo. That URL is not recongnized. I then went the AOL way where they run an x2 test from Vancouver only, but they publish on screen, a link to USR v.90 upgrade and again it spat in my face that the URL was not able to get connected and I am still without the v.90. No problem as nobody here has even a 33k6 set up. But beleive you me, it is coming and I want to be ready. I tried it out of Tampa,FL and it is a pleasure to see the data come in on big D/L. Will you kindly let us know when it becomes available. Or was my problem due to too many other proud owners of 3com hardware being connected at the same time?

Bonjour, Mal. Next time you see this, do U/L your profiles so another better versed than I can analize what your setup is. doing the ATZ sets your modem to profile 0 but does not tell us what that is. To get your profile, do the AT&V, save it somehow and then attach to a post here. There are people here so friendly and knowledgeable, it will make your modem roll. Have a great USR day.
