Okay, Zoom longs. Do any of you attach any significance to Rockwell's absence in the joint 3Com/Lucent press release today where they announced interoperability testing of their respective V.pcm products? biz.yahoo.com "3Com and Lucent are striving to have standards-compliant products on the market as quickly as possible, and to upgrade the Lucent K56flex and 3Com x2 client and server modems already in use with V.pcm software," said Bob Rango, general manager of modem integrated circuits for Lucent's Microelectronics Group. '"We expect other vendors will join this effort when they have standard-based products to test." The implication being that they don't have standard-based products to test now? Hello? Anyone?

Marc I do think the 56K sector will get a bump up at first, including Zoom. But shortly there after I think it will become known that some may not be able to conform at both ends of the connection without a hardware swap at the least. As Mr. Lawrence points out, the absents of Rockwell in the 3Com/LU announcement gives cause for concern. I don't know how individual users with ROK chip based modems will fair. It could be at the ISPs. Never the less it looks like something is awry in the K56Flex camp...and it ain't LU.
