I see AT&T WorldNet is playing it smart and not using the ROK cheap chips, but instead is using LU's chips as one would expect.

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov 5 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp's WorldNet
Internet service provider said Wednesday it has begun to use
56-kilobit-per-second, high-speed access technology in its network.
56k technology allows Internet users to access the World
Wide Web, electronic mail and other electronic information
quicker than the current 28.8k speed that is available to most consumers.
AT&T WorldNet Service said its subscribers in 11 cities can
reach local 56K access numbers, and it plans to equip 15 more
cities with the high-speed capability by the end of November.
By June of 1998, AT&T WorldNet plans to make the high-speed
access available to all its subscribers.
There is no additional charge for accessing AT&T WorldNet
Service using 56K technology.
Currently, AT&T WorldNet subscribers in the 11 cities can
use the 56k technology through modems made 3Com Corp .
Spokesman Mike Miller said it plans to make the service
accessible "in the near future" through modems made by Lucent
Technologies Inc -- the other maker, beside 3Com, of
modems that use 56k technology.
Additionally, AT&T WorldNet said an 888 number equipped
with WorldCom's 56k technology is available to subscribers nationwide.
It carries the same 10-cent-per-minute charge associated
with the nationwide 800-number for 28.8K access to AT&TWorldNet Service.

I like this <GGG> statement:

"the other maker, beside 3Com, of modems that use 56k technology.
