>>I'll have to give them some hell about this, my understanding is that Flex's V.90 is not backward compatible (only x2 is backward compatible, unless Lu has this problem solved)

That's true on client-side Rockwell based modems. A non-upgraded K56Flex client modem should be able to talk 56k to any K56Flex server port, or any K56Flex server port that is running V.90. It will not be able to talk 56k to a x2 server port, or a x2 server port that has been upgraded to V.90.

An upgraded K56Flex client modem will not be able to talk 56k to any non-upgraded K56Flex server port, but should be able to talk 56k with any K56Flex server port that is running V.90. It will not be able to talk 56k to a x2 server port, but should be able to talk 56k with any x2 server port that is running V.90.

Non-upgraded x2 client modems should talk 56k to any x2 to server port, regardless of whether the port has been upgraded to V.90. An upgraded x2 client mode should be able to talk 56k to any x2 to server port, regardless of whether the port has been upgraded to V.90, and it should be able to talk 56k to anyone else's V.90 server port.

Clear as mud?
