It is very doubtful that IBM will ever release a 56K upgrade for the 760's with the Mwave processor. From what I understand, the Mwave system in these models does not have the power to handle a 56K modem connection. Heck, they have a hard enough time with a 28.8k connection and sound at the same time, and sound has to be disabled if you are online at a 33.6k connection. My advice? Buy a PC Card 56k modem and disable the internal Mwave modem. That's what I did when I had my 760ED, and the unit performed much better (no more crashes and lockups like I had when using the Mwave modem). The reason that the modem in the 770 can be software upgraded is because the DSP system has been upgraded to a more powerful processor. This system works much better and more reliably than the earlier Mwave systems, at least in my experience. Eric Giles -----Original Message----- From: Alexander J.
