Usually modems are not firmware upgradeable. The chipsets are the way they are. You can get any where from 2.4kbit to 48kbit connection on a v.90 or v.92 modem. It's all in the lines and modem pools on the other end. You can change between the v.xx protocols and try to get a better connection, but that's about it. -- Nick http://www.izap.com/~pinnacle therhythmex: AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo Messenger ID "So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?"
