Until now I did not find any other TA but the Omni 128.

The Livingston people don't have Yeah, I just registered for the 56K modem cards on www.livingston.com. I'm not so eagerly waiting for those anyway, because most customers over here use USR modems that do X2 instead of K56flex and I do not intend to support them anyway (get ISDN if you want higher speed). > go the PM3 route myself, but since all that is going on, I am going to USR > x2 first because they at least have something that works. The USR Total Won't this be an expensive route? First buying the USR units, then switching to PM3? I think that 56K is just an intermediate step and it will die sooner or later. -- Blaz Zupan, blaz@amis.net, http://www.amis.net/staff/blaz Medinet d.o.o., Linhartova 21, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia
