Howdy, One thing to remember amongst all this M$ reminiscent hype is that ALL of the 56K modems require a direct *digital* connection to the telco on one end (the server) to function. It's in the fine print, but all the standards require this. So if you're an ISP with a term server and stand-alone modems, be prepared to throw it all away in favor of this new, unproven technology. Has anyone yet to see a demo of this during a sales pitch??
