<<One option for users will be a modem that combines x2 and "ADSL Light," a
low-end DSL alternative that provides data rates between 128K bps and 256K
bps, the sources said.
x2DSL will be developed by USR based on code from DSL maker Aware Inc., of
Bedford, Mass., sources said.
Such a hybrid modem could drive demand for DSL, since it provides customers
willing to buy into 56K-bps technology with an upgrade path to the higher-speed
DSL, according to David Cooperstein, an analyst with Forrester Research Inc.,
based in Cambridge, Mass..>>

Amati is demoing 8mbs/sec and USRX has an upgrade path to 128k-256K.
I could see USRX passing up a deal with Amati is really paying
big dividends.

I guess you can say this is a "light announcement"...and if this is
the extent of Aware's speed..why is Cisco interested?

There has to be more to this.
