Once upon a time you could upgrade a particular modem by entering a string into it. Created by an SPA who removed a PROD in 2006, so here we are. Richfife (talk) 11:34, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This survived for almost nine years? Even if there were sources available, this would be too trivial and specific to exist as an independent article. This could possibly be a bullet point in some article on firmware hacks, but that's about the best case scenario that I can see. Like the original prod said back in 2006, this is too much of a how-to guide. The bizarre thing is that it couldn't possible be of any use to anyone, and the only reason it exists seems to be nostalgia (not exactly the most uncommon thing in these BBS-era articles).
