[comp.dcom.modems] telebit firmware revision summary

grr@cbmvax.commodore.com (George Robbins) (02/11/90)

The following information was extracted from the Telebit "upgrade.doc" file
on uunet.  I may have introduced errors, check the original and/or consult
Telebit before ordering blindly...

The upgrade document also alludes to an upgrade policy for owners of older
telebit modems that wish to upgrade to T2000 or T2500 modems, call 1-800-TELBIT
for more infomation on this or other subjects (not to mention prices 8-).

The installed firmware revision can be obtained with the ATI3 or ATN? commands.
