[USRX Hybrid Chat] Bozo, The "bottom line" on the USRX 128k/256k is "interim". What makes you the RBOCS/ISP's and others are excited about installing a 128k/256k "interim solution" when Westell and others have 1.5MB available TODAY. It's like buying a 386 PC when the Pentium is available.. what's the point? Face it, USRX is trying (and rightly so) to put a "good spin" on a 56k modem that's gone within a year. A question that "get's me" is the 128k/256k speed...is this the best Aware can do? I thought they had DMT. USRX will get their share and they'll get more share when they team with TI/Amati in putting together a 1.5mb-52mbs migration strategy. It's not available today...that's the problem...so USRX needs to "make do" with a "light offer" which is not light for ISP's and CO's and others to install for a "short term solution". If USRX didn't like Amati...why did they want their code "for free". They should have paid. I think they can do more "damage to the USRX brand" by introducing interim another solution. I'm not against USRX. I just think they made a mistake. Let GTE roll-out their national ADSL internet network with Cisco/Amati/Westell in Q3... that's good enough for me (in '97) and will certainly help the stock price. My Thoughts, Bob
