<..does this mean ISP's have been upgrading to v.90's?> Hi Joe. My local ISP is a Cisco reseller. Their (3com) 56k X2 upgraded to V.90 last month without a hitch- which led me to upgrade! Their Flex (not 3com) is still running Flex; the upgrade was a fiasco, and many of the flex customers are having trouble with their modem upgrades, too. Actually, the upgrades are fine, if you like connecting at 33k. The tech I talk to was fairly adamant that I get nothing but a 3com V.90 modem. I'm glad that's what I got- it installed without a hitch on my Macintosh, and we flying. So, it's only anecdotal, but my ISP has upgraded and also supports flex because many customers are now stuck with it. Best Regards, WebDrone
