V92 is a hardware feature and, on most modems, isn't a software or firmware update. Some modems that were made as v.90 just a little before the v.92 standard was finalized have the required hardware and are, thus, firmware upgradeable. That said... I know -VERY- few people with pleasant experiences regarding v.92's supposed benefits, and I haven't gotten it to work on any of my Macs, nor on my lone PC. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
