USR Modems - bad modem ROM causes problems at higher speeds

Return to The Warp Pharmacy:Hardware

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).
