USR Sportster 33.6 INT update
I just found an old Sportster 33.6 INT which can be update by software to 56K.
This software update available at 3COM site for 60$.
This price is higher then buying a new USR modem...
Where can I find that update for more reasonable price or better then that - for free ?
thanks in advance.

to go along with Otta, if you lived next door, I would give you a new winmodem for that one

Thanks Otta, but in here - the price for new USR modem is 54$.
My USR modem is a "real" one with jumpers and everything. It's not a winmodem. That's why I'm interested in upgrading it.
If someone have a link where I can find this upgrade _ILLEGAL_ it will be grate for me... :)

Answer: nowhere (at least, nowhere _LEGAL_).
While the price is less than some of the newer 3COM PCI-based Winmodem models, you'll be upgrading a DSP (digital signal processing) modem, which you will be able to use under Windows NT, Linux, DOS, and OS/2, in addition to the Windows 95/98 system.
If the modem has jumpers (for COM and IRQ settings), then it's worth upgrading, if your ISP supports V.90 protocol, and your residential telephone-line also supports V.90.
