Apparently the catch is that if you want the 1.5Mb, you need the new modems
(701 or 678).

 Fair enough.  I should have specified "for new lines."  If, for whatever
reason, you still had a CAP line and needed a replacement 675, though, I'm
sure *plenty* of people would be willing to give away their 675 for the
cause, assuming they haven't thrown them out already.

 Possible.  I seem to recall the firmware upgrade page for the GT701 not
saying what version you were downloading, which made it rather difficult
to figure out.  I needed the line up, *then*, so I switched it out.
