   One caveat. If your incorporating voice modules into your 6500 most

   Quick question Larry or anyone. What is the differance between 6.1.4
ROMMON1 and 6.1.4 ROMMON2???? Looking to upgrade ROMMONS on a SUP2,
went to download the code when I noticed version 1 and 2 but can't find
any info on the two!!!
