I could certainly be wrong but I was thinking that they had the ability. 
  I don't recall ever needing the ability on anything newer than one of 
the 00xl switches so I guess I've never really tested it out for myself.

I have 3750s, 3560s, and 3560Es but unfortunately they are all in 
service so I can't check them myself.  Let me check cisco.com...

So I've done some searching on Cisco's site and I'm not finding anything 
positive.  The most definitive hit I see is one on upgrading a 3750 and 
what might be required if you format the flash and reload before 
uploading a new image.  It unfortunately says xmodem.  So, I haven't 
found positive hits and have found that one negative hits.  It's likely 
that I'm just full of it.  Here I thought my last horrible xmodem 
experience would be the last thanks to my eliminating old switches from 
the network.  I guess I have a new feature request for my AM. :-)
