Hah! :-D

I've noticed this one during the past couple of weeks:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/364342448484
(I have no affiliation with the seller in any way.)

....which together with the upgrades at the bottom of:
https://support.usr.com/support/downloads-template.asp?prod=s-cour
....could be nice deal for a Courier, getting it to V.90.

Then perhaps:
https://ads.usr.com/v92/default.asp
....to hopefully upgrade to V.92.

(If one could get hold of the exact product ID, there will probably be a product page with all the stuff on it.)

The newest Courier is the 3453C, which comes with x2, V.90 and V.92 out of the box, but those are usually more expensive...

Best regards
Zip
