You should be able to update the modem, there is a possibility that the EProm may need replacing, but USR will do that for you if needed. I would get in touch with USR and they can tell you all you need to know. The Courier has been their flagship product and they take care of Courier owners.

I do know that USR charges for the upgrade, around 50 bucks if I remember correctly. I don't know if they still offer it. Call em and see, but I wanna say that they stopped offering the upgrades.

It used to be 60 bux plus tax - and it was a download, not a chip replacement.
Go to http://modemupdate.usr.com and use the Modem Upgrade Wizard. |

On older 20mgh Couriers the eprom was to small to hold the new code and they needed a new eprom. Mine was changed for free by USR.
And my upgrade was free. But he should check with USR, what does he have to loose, Couriers had a 5 year warrenty and that may have been upgraded to lifetime. |
