Gary, Here is what my ISP e-mailed me today. FROM: Las Vegas Online RE: LAS VEGAS ONLINE OFFERING K56FLEX TECHNOLOGY Dear Subscriber: Las Vegas Online is currently offering faster access to the Internet through K56Flex, one of the leading technologies that allows 56Kbps modem connections to the Internet. Because there are several competing technologies that support this modem speed, including the K56Flex and X2 protocols, and no industry standards, Las Vegas Online urges consumers to carefully evaluate their selections before purchasing a 56Kbps modem. * Make sure the modem you purchase supports the K56Flex * Find out if the modem is capable of being upgraded to future 56K standards * Be aware that your local telephone company's infrastructure may affect your connection speed resulting in less than a true 56K connection The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the organization responsible for creating these standards, has said a standard will be available by the second quarter of 1998. Once this standard is set, Las Vegas Online will take the necessary steps to support it. For additional information, go to 56k.com Thanks, Las Vegas Online I haven't gotten completely up to date on todays news...LU bought something for pocket change another minor piece? The big foot will drop after the new year IMO. I'll be buying alot more Ascend this week. Jeff
