Skeeter, nobody is going to "win". It was a one horse show for awhile, but now everybody gets to play. Meanwhile, 3Com made a huge jump in closing the gap with Rockwell in pure market share, and soon enough we'll have a v.pcm standard. In re IBM, I believe the box to which you refer will incorporate their MWave modem, for which they have licensed x2 for 56k code. Can you cite a link that describes it using 'Flex? Just curious to see if they've really altered their modem offerings.

so, when all their potential customers have 56k flex, will they not buy 56k flex at the isp or will they watch all these new computer buyers flock to those that will? my guess is the former. Skeeter, There will be a standard soon. David's point was that Crockwell did not make an operating chip until six months after TI did using x2 technology from USRX. That was all he was stating. It is my opinion that I would not have the loses I do now had a standard been set by now. This is now hurting both ASND and COMS big time. That is the real problem at the moment. Glenn Just my opinion. The market (apparantly) does not feel obliged to cooperate with me in all cases. <g>
