If it used the checksum before flashing, you could in theory kill the modem during transfer and all would be fine. According to the docs, that'll kill your modem forever. On a Real Cisco, it does the same thing (erases flash, download IOS) but it also has a crappy IOS version in ROM in case you really fsck up the download. I realize the 675/678s are not really a concern to Cisco, but how hard would it be for them to put a ROM in the modem with an old version of CBOS? -Brian
