I purchased a USR Sportster 33.6 about two years ago, at what now
looks like a premium.  I have tried several times to upgrade to v90,
with results leaving a bad after taste.  As I informed 3Com, at my
salary, I have wasted over 2X the *considerable* cost of the modem
trying to flash upgrade.  

I will leave out the details, but I'll just say that a credit card is
required (only visa or mc, too---I don't have a credit card) and that
Windoze is apparently required to run the wizard, but this may be
untrue.  I have now received a message from 3Com after sending email
to a tech (it took three or four tries through an extremely irritating
loop on their web page to find an email address), saying that as of
June 1999, these flash upgrades have been discontinued.  

I told this guy I will never buy a 3Com product again.  

Has anyone worked out how to do this?  

(3 Com is said to now "support Linux"---yeah, *right*!)
