At least your's worked! My first attempt stopped the modem.  The fix was to
send AT&F to reset the modem to the defaults.  Try sending ATi4 to the
modem to find which version of the firmware is installed. V2.00 is V90.

I seem to remember that my own experience was similar. The modem has
worked flawlessly however and it does implement the new V90 connect
standard. (You can actually even tell by the different negotiation
sounds!).

Hello. I managed to use the upgrade ok but it took 4 or 5 attempts. At
first I just got error messages and had to start again. If you connect
to one of demons V90 numbers (0845 079 8668/0845 079 8666) and you reach
speeds of around 50k you know it's working.

I always connect at 48-50k which I think is a typical v90 speed. I'm
using a PM7100/80 with 7.6.1.

Mine worked a treat I must say - the Pace people did a good job on their
web site too. Sorry if your meilage varied - what error did it report.

I had what sounds like exactly the same problem as you. Somehow I reset
the modem and could run the upgrade again and it seems to have worked.
All very preturbing though...

Well I kept trying and on the sixth attempt it worked. Bit worrying, though.
