Telecommunications powers? Crotty says about his ISP, "My ISP will not support x2, however they admire usrx's products. Great pressure from telcoms to support kflex.... " I think your ISP is quoting the hoary old Rockwell/Ascend line -- "the telecommunications industry is firmly moving towards the open standards of K56Flex " -- which is just as much BS as saying that x2 is going to be the standard. On this discussion thread, we all know better. What's actually going to happen is that there will be a compromise standard, somewhere between the two, and everyone will upgrade, mostly for free. Crotty, I wonder if your ISP doesn't own a lot of existing equipment which can be traded in for K56 stuff. Probably they have Ascend or Livingston. The only solution is to get another ISP. In my area, many ISPs are offering both protocols. If you were here in "greater Chicagoland", I'd be happy to recommend enteract.com to you... thay are a top-rated regional ISP which offers both 56000 baud protocols, as well as ISDN. Probably, you can find another good ISP in your own area... one which won't raise the rate for the 56000 baud service like yours is doing. I'm not sure which town you're in (I looked at your current ISPs coverage area), but I found a number of possible providers using the x2 search engine. My biased opinion, of course. Dick
