I would just like to point out that the flash memory in modems is 
semi-permanent, so even though their may not be a linux upgrader you can 
still upgrade it under dos-windows and it will stay upgraded even for linux.
Further, a lot of flash upgraders are available as a small dos program and 
the upgrade is usually 32k-256k max so the whole lot will fit on a dos boot 
floppy even if you dont have a dual-boot windows system.

The same applies of course for motherboard bios upgrades. Remember allways to 
make a dump of the current program so if the upgrade doesnt work you dont 
have a dead modem/motherboard.
