It's a hardware update - the old 877's can't support Annex M. The new
part number is CISCO877-M-K9 and it's the same price as the old one.

Likewise for these - updated hardware. The 1801 is CISCO1801-M/K9.

Haven't come across the new HWIC yet - I don't think it's released.

The updated routers are available in .au.
