WorldNet hasn't used ASND's RAS. But this doesn't prevent WorldNet from evaluating ASND's RAS in the future. I confirm that WorldNet has been using Livingston PortMaster-3 to support K56Flex. This was one of the reason why LU was so familiar w/ Livingston, which led to its acquisition. However, WorldNet may be looking for higher port desity at competitive price, more versatile, scalable RAS which also support dedicated traffics. Maverick, Your standards time frame explanation was excellent. Thank you for that. I quoted the above because it would seem to me that WorldNet would have allegiance to LU due to the AT&T connection. I am also assuming that LU is supplying the necessary funding for R&D to improve the Livingston product line. I do have a question. Are in finance or engineering? You seem to know them both very well. Glenn
