[comp.dcom.modems] Robotic Courier HST Dual standard

hong@garfield.cs.mun.ca (Hong Cheng) (05/21/91)

I heard a rumor that Robotic now supports V.32bis now.
Is that true? Mine only supports  V.32, HST, V.42 and V.42bis.
Do they have any upgrade services for the 'old' customers?
Thx

   Yes.  USRobotics' new Courier V.32 and Courier HST Dual Standard modems 
support V.32bis.

   Then you have the previous model of Courier HST Dual Standard.

   If you bought yours just recently, you may be eligible for some special 
upgrade plan.  Find out your date of purchase (and be prepared to proove it) 
and call USR to ask.

   If not, they'll give you a couple hundred bucks credit towards the latest 
model... but you'll get much more selling it to someone else.
