It is probably a Dynalink made by the Askey Computer Corporation in 
Taiwan.

Yours is probably a 1428VQH

I have not ever seen a Dynalink with flash.

I think you mean the ** command.  The manual just repeats a lot of what 
is in Rockwell's manuals.  The Rockwell chipset may have code to 
download flash, but I rather doubt if you board has flash or is capable 
of having flash.

>Has anyone heard of MR MODEM and knows how to get in touch.

A lot of Askey modems are sold in Microcomputer Research Inc boxes.  
That is why they are often referred to as MR modems.  Dynalink modems
are sold under many different names.  You will find Web pages for Askey
at:

 http://www.askey.com.tw

but they are a very high volume, very low overhead operation only 
interested in selling you modems in thousands and I seriously doubt 
whether you would get any useful reply from them.

If you want a 33.6 modem then I would recommend selling the one that you 
have and buying a newer similar one as the cheapest possible route.
