>> ....What happens when the rest of the trade magazines report what Boardwatch's Rikard discovered. He could'nt believe the difference in x2's capabilities. x2 interoperates with everything every which way but sideways.The ROK chips are a nightmare and are non-interoperable.<< Yes! I know it and you know it and most people on the COMS threads knows it. Now the rest of the world has to realize this. The sooner the better for all of us. Some problems I see ( Please comment!) a) the average person who may not do much investigation will just assume that x2's have a problem because the ROK modems have a problem. Hopefully, they won't give up and later learn that they just picked the wrong modem to buy. b) Lots of ISPs who bought server side ROK 56k equipment, may have to rebuy COMS x2 equipment - anybody know if this is true? If so, then ISPs will be resistent to buying x2 RAS until they're forced to.
