Re: (ASCEND) K56Flex release 1.0 for Diamond...

Probably because the upgrade couldn't automatically
detect an unsupported modem and proceeded to nuke said
modems.  I don't think the upgrade worked with certain 
56k external models.  They didn't even release a readme
or anything when that upgrade first came out.
