What are you answering to your users, asking when will the 56k access be
available? And to those who have bought pretty damn expensive upgrades
for their sportsters, and now want x2, because even america onhold has
already got it and want access "now!" or else.
No, i'm not advocating USR, as a matter of fact it sucks[1], but let's
face the reality.
And besides, both Mega^H^H^H^HLivingston and USR say they are going to
support whatever becomes the standard in 56k.
