	In Germany there are several companies selling kits to upgrade the 
 A2286 bridgeboard. The one that comes to mind immediatly is Xpert. The kit
 to do it cost somewhere in the region of DM600 (Correct me if Im wrong) and
 Xpert would takeover the modification for a nominal fee. Maybe someone in 
 germany at the moment knows more about this and the address of Xpert.
