let, Welcome!! Any civilized debate is mighty welcome! Anything that stimulates the old cortex muscles is a good thing. I'll try to answer some of your questions later, gotta do some work at my day job at the moment... But, I will say this. The comparison to CUBE seems a little strained because of the '$70 down to $18' and back to $24. This seems a little harsher than the COMS drop. Shorts here months ago were banking on those numbers, but they were WRONG! :) As for bickering and bashing of COMS, for me it's just entertainment. Unfortunately, for others, it's probably scared them off from being a very valuable source of input. But I'm sure they'll all be back by end of the year when COMS hits $50 (*54% profit**). I'm thinking of developing a FAQ for newcomers. Any volunteers? Later, joe

>>I don't understand this v.90 language on the modems tho..could someone e-mail me about this (or post it here) because I have a USRobotics Sportster Modem (33.6k) that I would like to upgrade to 56k, but my ISP only handles the K56 Flex for the 56k connection. Will the v.90 work? << The first thing that has to happen, is your ISP has to upgrade to v.90. Next, you can upgrade to 56k v.90 by downloading software or firmware from 3Com. I'm not sure of the exact mechanics, just go to the 3Com web site - they'll lead you through it. I don't use a modem connection myself (I use the ol' T1 line from work - home modem's are too painful for me) A lot of the previous posts refer to technical details of x2 modems. Look for the ones by Dick Smith in this thread and the 'ghost' thread. I think he's the leading hardware guru for this stuff :> joe
