Scrapps,
I called for ISDN info and it is a business hours number. I was wondering if we have any Lawyers on the thread? MOT is trying to save themselves from a 50,000 ton locomotive not to mention tanks!
I will definately be calling MOT in the morning concerning ISDN but I have an interest for my analog system too. What their doing is an act of desperation. Could be some legalities involved...
Following came from MOT's FAQ.
>>8.Which other modems are eligible?
US Robotics Sportster 33.6 Fax Modem (Models 840 and 839) US Robotics Sportster 33.6 Sportster 33.6 Voice/Fax Modem (Models 1171 and 1172) US Robotics Sportster WinModem (Model 1125) US Robotics Sportster 33.6 for Mac (Model 1265) US Robotics Sportster Voice/Fax for Mac (Model 1141) Cardinal 33.6 Kbps V.34 Fax Modems (Models 5210 and 5410)
9.How much will the upgrade cost?
The cost will be very competitive for upgrading to Motorola's 56K product. Motorola 28.8 or 33.6 users will receive the greatest discounts, so buy a Motorola modem today! Users of competitors product will receive a discounted upgrade price.
10.Is the Tidal Wave upgrade available for analog or ISDN?
Customers have the choice of either. Participants in the Tidal Wave program can upgrade from analog speeds of 28.8 or 33.6 to 56K, or if ISDN is available in their area, they can upgrade to ISDN.
11.If I bought a Cardinal or USR product before Dec. 1, can I still participate in this upgrade program? What are the deadlines/grandfather dates, if any?
Yes you can. Basically, any modem based on the X2 technology (currently only USR and Cardinal) purchased through Feb 28, 1997 will be eligible. Customers must register for the program via 1-800-4-A-MODEM or register online by Feb 28, 1997.
12.If I buy 56K, will I be able to upgrade to ISDN later?
Yes, or you could upgrade to ISDN today. One of the options with the Tidal Wave program provides customers an upgrade to Motorola's BitSURFR Pror, the modem industry's award winning ISDN product which delivers twice the speed of 56K, greater reliability and even greater bandwidth. |
