David don't you figure they will both make an initial transitional (maybe even permanent) release that works with the old standard (e.g. x2) and the new ITU one. Then it won't matter whether it's the old one or the new standard when they dial in to the ISP. (That presupposes that there is enough memory to have both codings available.) It will more likely be a problem for simple modem to modem connections (like companies and their branch office) that will require synchronization of the changes. But I would think it would be a major inconvenience for those that may currently be stuck with those non programmable chip sets that ROK was pumping out last March, to be able to say they were shipping. Or have they all been upgraded already? P.S. Just another 28,000 posts to go. 3,000,000 this year for sure.
