DSC has done much the same in the past.  I'm sure some of you will
remember the problems with the PC-3000 and the early version Skyroute.
While replacing over 130 chipsets in the former and over 20 on the
latter, DSC has generally been pretty good stuff.  It's still pretty
easy to install and program.
