Do Windows users get more speed from x2 or K56flex? A review showing that x2 modems far outperform K56flex modems has generated a great deal of interest among Windows users who surf the Internet. The review appeared in Boardwatch Magazine's March issue, edited by Jack Rickard. He completed 10,484 calls to Internet service provider ports running x2 modems made by 3Com's U.S. Robotics unit. More than 90 percent of his downloads occurred at 42Kbps, plus or minus 5Kbps. By contrast, he completed 10,325 calls to K56flex ports powered by Rockwell Semiconductors' chipsets -- but more than 90 percent of his downloads occurred at a mere 28.8Kbps, plus or minus 5Kbps. infoworld.com
