You bought these up for consideration...so let's consider:
----------------------------------------------------------
<<1) That USRX does not seem to be considering Amati OR the DMT-ANSI
standard license. So however Aware's code was written, it seems that ANSI- DMT
"standard compatibility" is sufficient for the market.
2) That TI has a contract with Aware. This makes sense, but is a surprise.
Whatever value has been ascribed to Amati as a result of having contracts with
MOT and TI has to now be reconsidered.>>

* Where's the value in a 128k/256k announcement? Probably as a last
ditch effort to recover any revenues from a 56k modem with a very
short product life cycle.

* They did consider Amati. Do you think 128/256k is going to win the
desktop vs. 1.5mb from ANY ADSL vendor?

* TI can contract with anyone...Amati collects on the lisc. agreement.

If this is USRX's big ADSL Interop announcement then I feel very good
about Amati's decision to "make them pay" what is fair... If
I'm a USRX shareholder, I'd tell to kiss and make-up with Amati and
roll-out a product with a shelf life of more than a year.
