What kind of "not supported" status does the 8250 have ?  Will it still
work at low speeds, such as 1200/2400 or will FAS simply refuse to work ?

I ask because sometimes it is not possible to replace the 8250 without
killing the warranty on an internal modem.  Does this mean that I
cannot use FAS with a system that has such a modem ?

Thanks.
