Bobby, How carefully did you read the announcement in question? The Rockwell technology Diamond plans to incorporate into its next generation of modems has not even been submitted to world standardization bodies as yet. Rockwell will not demonstrate the 56k technology to the general public until November. Even if the technology functions as promised, one serious limitation is that a digital connection between two modems incorporating the Rockwell chipset will be required to achieve the "higher speeds" you reference. Regular telephone lines will be limited to the same 33.6k baud rate presently imposed upon v.34 modems. Based on documentation I've read from Rockwell, the new chipset essentially acts as a weaker cousin of the various ISDN devices presently available. Diamond does not have exclusive access to the coming Rockwell chipset. As in the past, Supra will be only one of a great many modem manufacturers to take advantage of the latest developments from Rockwell International. The new chipset certainly represents a potential bonanza for Rockwell, however. Jonathan
