Thank you Dan (and friend)
The idea behind doing a survey was in part to
1. Find out what the latest Software was and
2 . Find out how many older versions were around.
Is this to mean that 5.2.3 is a later version or was that a typo for
5.1.3
I suspect that the majority of modems are 5.1.3 but that there are
others
still out there. (i did make a point of noting the dates on the Nokia
page
and that they were quite possibly not the software that was required)
It would be nice if there was a source of genuine information that meant
we did not have to go to the extent of asking odd questions on the list.
And guessing at the actual answers.
