I went around on this one with everyone at comdex, especially 3Com. But as Ascend people pointed out its not the # of ISP's but the number of ports. There are many more x56flex modems out there...it just depends on who you are talking to? JJ

I hope that article was located in the fiction section of the rag. >>K56flex previously trailed x2 in ISP deployment because K56flex worked with large ISPs such as Uunet and GTE that took longer to overhaul their massive networks, Labadie said. That is total crap. Nine out of the ten largest North American ISPs have deployed x2, some as long as seven months ago. K56Flex took longer because they could not ship a working product. Period. >>In contrast, 3Com focused on smaller ISPs and, in the case of AOL, on the online service's own ISP hardware, he said. More crap. Ascend has lived by the small ISPs, where US Robotics and 3Com RACs resided in the overwhelming majority of the large ones. Talk about denial. Sheeesh!
