Sportsters are not flashable, only Couriers. It is hoped that most Couriers will be flashable to ITU. That might be a problem. K56Flex modems are capable of auto-leveling to reach a max of 56k, but X2 modems put out too high levels so are limited to 53k. This seems to be limitation of the DSP on some of the Couriers and USR TC modems. USR designed X2 to support as many USR modems as possible. I don't know if the ITU will be as forgiving. > > A Zoom K56Flex is highly rated lately. > > Same as above, if it is possible on a Zoom. Sure is.
