A warning about firmware updates Things can go wrong during the flashing process, rendering the modem inoperable. Don't try to run other programs while flashing the firmware, and don't try to update your firmware the day before a major presentation. Only use firmware updates intended for your specific modem. If something does go wrong during the update, you will need to contact the modem manufacturer for a replacement. That means that the firmware on those sites is in beta testing.
Beta software is software that is unfinished and is believed to contain bugs.
If that sounds too risky, wait for the finished version. Firmware is a portion of hardware that can be electronically re-programmed with software. Gossamer Threads Inc. Copyright 1997-2000 Softwords.
