Just a quick note. I've downloaded the latest ROM, and now I see that the speed has on occasion shifted up from 28.8 to 31.2.... Good job! ...

I currently have 2 Supra 288 modems, one is an older VFC and the other is a 288 V34. I am interested in the new 33.6 upgrade but would like to know what I am getting if I upgrade. Will I be getting a new modem with the new ED readout or just a chip upgrade for these modems? Also since I purchased both of these at SysOp prices what would the cost be to me for the upgrade? Also will there be a SysOp deal on the new 33.6 modems in the near uture, and if so would you know what the prices would be? PS...the rom versions for the modems I have now are: 288V34 (V1.440-12-V34_DS) 288VFC (V1.000-040DS 39F VFC) Thanks..... --- GEcho 1.11+ * Origin: The Butch's Block - Bridgewater,MA - 508-697-2904 (1:101/575) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 267 SUPRA MODEMS Ref: DCK00000 Date: 08/15/96 From: ROBBY DITTMANN Time: 02:16pm \/To: PATRICK MOORE (Read 4 times) Subj: 1.44-17 PM> I was away at a show and have not yet had time to look PM> at it.

You seem to be just a little behind on your information it seems. Supra has stated both here, through thier voice support lines and in the info available on the web site that only the V34 supras with the newest data pump can be upgraded to 33.6 with a ROM upgrade. The modems will take the new flash ROM but physically can't handle the increased throughput.

I just wish supra would be brave enough to ADMIT AB>that. Supra has been clear with the information and it is readily available from a number of sources. I know that we tend to get impatient when we have to wait over a week for a reply to e'mail, but the support folks at Supra have 8 hour a day jobs and can't necessarily get to every e'mail as promptly as you would your personal correspondence. You will have to upgrade your modem to the new data pump to get the 33.6 capability. That is what I did.
