I agree 100% David. Once you read between the lines things aren't so rosy for MOT/ROK modem consumers.

The thing I thought was most important was the lack of availability of remote access equipment for K56. If the big ISPs are just starting to implement this equipment in the beginning of April (like AOL is with X2 now) then who in their right mind is going to buy a ROK based modem until then? Even my pidly old ISP in NH will have beat the big MOT/ROK based ISPs to 56K by months.

PS

<<Does anyone else find it odd that MOT can deliver K56FLEX modems before either Rockwell or Lucent? It sounds like they are DSP/Flash based.>>

I think that MOT is using ROKs analog chipset (K56Plus technology) so there is no software upgrade possible now. (V.flex2 is LUs DSP based technology, K56FLEX is the generic standard name that both of these technologies work under.)
