"You are not getting it. Coms isn't selling modems."

Yes Doug they are selling modems by way of their USR division, and more than any other modem maker.

"Nobody is buying 56k modems."

Yes again Doug 56K modems are selling, just not as well as they would be if an ITU standard were in place.

"Nobody will buy 56k modems. "

Again it's yes Doug, and 69+% of them are x2 modems.

"Phone lines don't go faster than 33.6, generally. This news is just dawning on people. As full implications sink in, stock will continue to sink. And it is the end of the line for the product line. "

Doug I know many people who have bought 56K x2 modems...and all report a very noticeable increase in download speeds and are happy they made the purchase. I am the only one I know who has a problem with phone lines preventing me from getting a substantial improvement.

"The acq. of USRX is increasingly looking like a lousy, overprice, move. "

Doug I take that statement to be one of your own based on your opinion and no other information. If I'm wrong please state your sources.

"And then there is tax selling season for the looser, just about to heat up."

Who is the loser you refer to? And what is the tax season in relation to the fiscal year?

"I got out of my last part of this one earlier this week."

You got out with a profit I hope!
