USR Modems - bad modem ROM causes problems at higher speeds
Last Updated: 7th January, 1995
Symptoms
Random and abrupt dropping of carrier signals and other errors.
Hardware
USR Sportster and Courier modems connecting to other brands
of V.FastClass (V.FC) modems.
Problem
USR modems do not use the Rockwell chipset and when connecting
to other V.FC modems that do, problems can result.
Fix
USR has issued a new flash ROM for Couriers (dated 12/02/94) and
is making a new ROM chip for the Sportsers (availability date unknown).
Contact USR for details. Or click here to visit USR's ftp site.
Notes
This is not specifically a Warp problem - it can happen under any operating
system. This note is included here to document the fact that what
you think may be a Warp problem may actually be a problem with
your modem.
