Eric: <<The thing I thought was most important was the lack of availability of remote access equipment for K56. If the big ISPs are just starting to implement this equipment in the beginning of April (like AOL is with X2 now) then who in their right mind is going to buy a ROK based modem until then>>>

"Rockwell and Lucent believe that Internet users are more likely to be able to connect to the Internet at 56Kbps via the ISP of their choice because the majority of the leading manufacturers of Internet remote access server (RAS) equipment will supply K56flex equipment to ISPs. RAS vendors who support either K56Plus or V.flex2 technologies represent more than 70 percent of the worldwide enterprise access server market according to industry analysts. They include: 3Com, Ascend Communications, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., DIGITAL, Gandalf, Hayes Microcomputer Products, Inc., Livingston Enterprises, Inc., Microcom, Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. and NetAccess."
Will any of the above vendors support X2? |
