s in the modem doesnt talk back to virmin?

Well......

If the modem didn't "talk back" to the network it would be impossible to get internet!

cockneysean is there a new flashing guide if i have the MAX 232 EQ MAX233 233 CABLE MODEM UPGRADE ADAPTER, with the webstar cable connection

TBH if you are going to flash a Webby I would go with the JTAG method.

Come to think of it, I think I will write a guide for that later.

It's much simpler with much less faffing about with console unlockers etc etc. It's more or less two or three commands or clicks of a mouse and you are done!
