Whoa there. IBM.net (ISP) is standardized on x2. IBM.com (hardware) is both x2 and K56Flex. Both are NYSE:IBM, but are two completely separate divisions.

SI,

Why would IBM.COM standardize on X2 and install K-flex modems in
their Aptiva PCs? This makes no sense to me. Anyone?


Good point. Perhaps this kind of logic is why IBM can't sell PC's. OTOH, IBM does sell x2 based modems.
