Several months ago there was a LOT of traffic here about upgrading
6300's with NEC V30's. I'm considering this path, but I seem to
remember a lot of conflicting claims. If anyone would like to
respond to me regarding the following questions, I post a followup.

1.  What sort of performance increase should one expect? Where have
    or have not you seen a difference?

2.  Is a ROM upgrade for older 6300's necessary? If so, what version
    do you need, and how do you find out what version you have?

3.  Any other gotchas to be wary of?
