Keep in mind, however, that while Cardinal may have made excellent modems
at one time (this is something probably subject for debate, but for the
moment, we'll suppose that they made excellent modems), Cardinal no longer
exists.  Their hardware is no longer being developed or supported.  They
are no longer releasing firmware updates.

USR is still in existance (although now owned by 3com), and their firmware
IS being updated constantly.
