[comp.dcom.modems] help me upgrade my multitechs

jimbo@socrates.umd.edu (jim bogard (tech)) (05/04/91)

Well:
We have about 130 Multitech 2400 rack mounts, about which a third are
MNP3 with the rest being MNP5.  Due to a lack of compatibility between
these and some other modems we have, we want to upgrade the MNP3s to 5.
Multitech wants $50 for the ROMs and to cut some traces on the board to
make the new ROMs work.  We would like to do it ourselves, so we don't
have to ship the modems out, etc. (Buying the roms, of course). Does
anybody know what board mods are necessary to do this?
Thanks.

Why not have them upgrade one and use it as a guide?
