First, to answer several questions...
1> Apparently, there's a been a shortage on the internal jumper
cables needed for the mod... So unless you were lucky like me
and were local (and picked it up in person...) you'll have to
week several more weeks...

2> The mod is for BOTH the HST and the DUAL
3> As for the transfer rates, yes it's confirmed at over 2000cps
with zmodem moybturbo on compressed ZIP files.. If you do text
it flys way over 2000 cps....
4> As for UUCP that is the main weakness of the HST/DUAL... It doesn't
support SLIP and from what I heard it's a pain the butt to get it
to work with UUCP although it CAN be done... I think it's
best to stick with Telebits.. Oh well, if USR cared they should
do something about that...

Any other questions? Please post or email
