Yes, there is an upgrade available, but it only works if you have the
proper "datapump" chip inside the modem.  The documentation included
with the upgrade tells you how to find out if your modem has the proper
chip.

1)  Yes, there is an Amiga file you can download from the Supra Web site.
    It's in the "SupraFAXModem 288e" section of the web page.

    Its name is:  12014412.lha

    The Web page you want is    http://www.supra.com/Support/flashers.html

2)  No.  If you log on at 28.8, that's all you get is 28.8 kbps modem to
    modem speed.  The only way you will benefit is if you are connecting
    to a modem on the remote end that is also capable of 33.6 kbps.
    You will see a number higher than 28.8 on the display of the modem.

No problem.
