| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 12/26/2001 12:59:47 PM     This is the picture of the PCMCIA V.Everything 33.6: http://firestorm.comp.cx/~paulp/pics/courier2.jpg Does anyone know what model ID(s) this thing had, what chipset, and if it can be flashed to 56K? |
| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 12/28/2001 5:28:00 AM I tried the USR and the 3Com websites, even called USR. USR could not look up an FCC ID and find anything! By the way, USR has been a private company since some time in 2000. I suppose this allows a lot of products to fall between the cracks. |
| Bob Starnes Tl Posts: 4360 USA | Posted - 12/28/2001 2:31:42 PM Need a manual for it: ftp://ftp.usr.com/3Com%20Courier%20Modems/1024696.pdf And drivers (Win95) |
| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 12/29/2001 11:04:48 AM Actually, I was thinking of buying one, but wanted to know first if it could be flashed to 56K, and what kind of dongle it uses. From the little info I could squeeze out of USR customer service, my guess is that I could easily get it to run at 33.6, but that there is no flash to 56K. The "V.Everything" name fooled me - I had assumed it could be flashed like the external Couriers. And - I could end up with a $5 modem and have to buy a $20 dongle. |

| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 12/29/2001 7:14:34 PM In case it can give me any further clues, what's the link? I went to ftp://ftp.usr.com/3Com%20Courier%20Modems/ but didn't know which one might be relevant. |

| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 12/31/2001 1:07:59 AM Thanks. By doing a tiny bit more searching (entering "SDL" on the USR website search page), I found the model number, 00101505:
