        Once there, flasher to 1.300-13 and then to 1.440-12 (and
        the beta's if you wish) using the XMODEM upload method.

        You also MUST have the 2.x version of the flasher to get
        from 1.200-02 to 1.300-xx (the 3.x version of the flasher
        is silly and only works going between 1.300-xx releases or
        getting back down from 1.440-xx releases).  The current
        archives for the PC on the BBS and FTP site have BOTH
        flasher versions.  The FL_120UP.EXE is the one you'll
        need to use.

This is probably due to the fact the ITU has not yet ratified the
33600 speed,it has only recommended it.. SUpra obviously want to be
