[frgeek-michiana] Re: Sportster Modems

ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/allfiles.txt may help.  It is a
complete listing of all SoftPaq's, CPQ's goofy name for their assorted
updates.  It's about a 10MB file though, so I recommend downloading and
RegEx'ing, especially since CPQ frequently has two or three updates such
as (1.0, 1.0 - 1.6, 1.0 - 1.3, 1.3 - 1.6).

Regards,

   The request in itself isn't a problem, however, my experience has 
been you practically have to d/l the exact bios program for a specific 
model. If you can get me some model numbers I'll research it further.
