Australia - V.90 To Rise At Easter Newsbytes - March 31, 1998 17:37 SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, 1998 MAR 31 (NB) -- By Stuart Kennedy, Computer Daily News. The new v.90 56K modem standard - which ends the war between 3Com's [NASDAQ:COMS] x2 and Rockwell's [NYSE:ROK] K56flex technologies - is moving closer to marketplace reality in Australia. Sirius Technology (nee Banksia) has announced plans to sell a dual-mode modem from Easter which will run either in V.90 mode or use the Rockwell's K56flex technology, currently adopted by many Australian Internet service providers. Sirius will follow up immediately with online software upgrades for other NetComm and Banksia 56K users. The first Banksia Wave modems to be sold with v.90 onboard are expected around the end of April. The new dual-mode modem is a NetComm portable, known as the Roadster II 56 Ultra. Sirius business strategy manager Cam Wayland says it will automatically negotiate the fastest possible connection, whether it be v.90, 56Kflex, or a slower ITU standard. Sirius spokesman John Papanidis said software upgrades should be available for most of the company's 56K modems by Easter. However he stressed there was no point in users making the upgrade before their ISP makes the jump to v.90. o~~~ O
