<<Their problems for US Robotics with ADSL as I see them are:
1) Non-USRX standards are well established (DMT and to a lesser extent CAP
(defacto) )
2) Most modems will be installed at the telco central office, not the ISP. ( If the
modems are located at the ISP, I do not believe telcos have to provide a physical
pair, only a local loop under their tariffs, but I could be wrong )
3) Any retail modems must match what the telcos install until standards are finalized.>>

I totally agree with the above. However, you cannot underestimate the
agressive of an ISP vs. the Rbocs's. We can count on Robotic's cutting
a "sweet heart" deal for all of the ISP's that have already invested in
a non-migratible 56K modem.
