So Dick, what Zoom is doing is adding memory to the modem, not using a ROK chipset with increased memory...AND this isn't just something in the code...Right? What I'm trying to understand is why ZOOM is doing this instead of using the new improved ROK chips. It was posted on the Zoom thread that the additional cost for the new ROK chips were around $27 per modem. Has Zoom found a way to achieve the desired results at less cost? You said: They can... if they put enough memory in the modem to hold both K56 and V.90 protocols. So is one additional meg enough? Or is more required? As we mentioned two weeks ago when this first came out, if you have one of these modems, you can have either K56 or V.90, so you will want to hold off upgrading until your ISP has upgraded. Yes I do remember, that's why I suggested yesterday KFLEXers check with their ISPs first...before downloading the V.90 code. re: El Nino It's just catching it's breath I heard.
