Thanks for the links! But why don't they have these on the web site? is it
THAT big the waste of storage? :-)

I am not sure, but I suspect that the 14.4k modems were not upgradable. Only
the 28.8k did support flash, because of the lack of the market-standard and
the quick evolution of standards at the time.

There is an ati(something) command, that reports if there is Flash support.

I am mirroring the supra directories, I do not know if I will find them
again in a couple of years ;-)))

Once again: Thanks!!!
