IT'S FINALLY HERE! MODEM MAKERS AGREE ON 56-KBPS MODEM STANDARD news.com A tentative agreement reached yesterday on a standard for 56-kbps modems may have come about because of increasing financial pressures on vendors and modem chipset makers. Fortunately, consumers won't be forced to choose between competing standards anymore. A concern that has cast a pall over the 56-kbps modem market is the potential inability to use a 56-kbps modem with an Internet service provider because the provider does not support one of the two competing standards. Consequently, a number of vendors have suffered poor financial results.

My mistake. After doing a little research found several positions that are termed Technology Officers, such as at Novel. After reading the description of the job think that Technical Officer is another name for Technical Director, which I was before retirement.
