Pretty doubtful since the ADSL chip on an 837 is a Globespan, not an Alcatel.

Newer IOS revs come with their own firmware images mainly, upgrading
to such-and-such IOS image may give you newer firmware than you can
find seperately.

We bought the 877 new about 3 months ago.
It came with an IOS in which ntp was broken because of a hardware change.
Someone on this group advised me to update the IOS, I did that and the
ntp was working, but in both IOS versions the ADSL firmware is the same
ancient one.

After downloading the newer version 4 firmware and installing it separately
in the flash, the problem we had with ADSL (at first the line is OK but
SNR is decreasing all the time and after some time a re-train is forced)
was completely solved.

I don't know why those boxes are shipped with IOS not matching the
hardware, and old ADSL firmware. But fortunately it was fixable.

Right, sometimes from IOS rev to rev, the firmware rev stays the same.
But they can ship a new card firmware in a newer IOS rev as well.
Some future IOS rev you upgrade to may have a newer bug fixed one
compared to what you are force running now.

Such is the nature of things. :(

Hello
I have some C837

I can confirm that I used the following DSL Firmware on it (using as
external firmwares)

adsl_alc_20190_3.0.10.bin

adsl_alc_firmware_837_3-9-221

I used both succesfully.

I don't know honestly if the 3.0.10 is newer than 3.9.221

I need IOS 12.4(25b) for 837 and for 831

we could exchange :))

Thanks for that. Cisco seem to now put new ADSL
firmware on the main software download page. Of course
this means that you need an account to see it.

The ftp site is still there but there is newer firmware on
the main site now.
