Re: (ASCEND) K56Flex modems marked N\A
Correct, I've been beating this around with Ascend for sometime,
hell the Max use to build it's modem list at boot up dynamically, and
sometime the modem's would switch from being N/A to being available. I
don't think Ascend is going to be able to doing anything about these, it
may have something to due with the DM-16's and DM-12 are pretty much
engineered the same way, probably sharing a lot of the same circuitry.
