As I recall, vendors have to certify the modem that they will be shipping. If the hardware changes or they come out with newer model, the model has to be run through certification. I'm not sure exactly how picky they are about SW changes. I think once your modem is accepted, you are on the "inside" as Pete Fenner mentioned in one of the CC's, and you can update software. I would think though that major SW updates would require re-certification. Someone would need to correct me on this if I'm amiss. I can't speak for TERN's DOCSIS modem as to whether they'll ship that one or not. As it is an OEM'd version, they at least have something to sell. Mark
