You know, I've looked at a couple of these product, and NOWHERE does it say you can "surf" and call at the same time... They all specifically say you can use the voice phone at the same time as using the "net"...i.e., Home Lan.... That's not the same thing as being "online" via a dial-up ISP, and making a phone call to another number. I'm not trying to be dense...but nowhere does the ZOOM product or the TUTS/INTEL product make the first claim above.... And the only thing that either says it that you can make a call over the same lines while using the Home Net.... This is the quote from the ZOOM release: With Zoom/HomeLAN, voice calls can be made while the network sends data on the same phone line. Zoom's superior filtering ensures voice calls remain clear as the network operates at peak capacity. To me this doesn't clearly mean that you can send data outside your LocalAreaNet(home)to another server while making a telephone call on the same line. I hope you see my interpretation. Here's the TUT statement: AnyPoint Home Network products are based on the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance(HomePNA) 1.0 industry specification and are Year 2000 capable. The network transmits data signals on a higher frequency than voice signals and, therefore, is designed so it does not interfere with phone conversations. The AnyPoint Home Network is also compatible with emerging, high-bandwidth Internet access specifications, such as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable modems for even greater shared Internet access performance in the future. This still doesn't say that TWO phone calls can be placed simultaneously--one to your ISP and one to anyone else(once your connection to the ISP is established....) So far, I still see two phone lines necessary to be on-line on the Internet(vs. the Home LAN) and make and receive calls.... Maybe there's something about call-waiting I don't understand that will make this clear to me....? Help...and thanks for the efforts so far to clarify this. I still don't see any claim of these HOME LAN products upgrading your modem or connection to an xDSL.... All I see is assurances that using a product that connects computers in your home over your house's phone lines will not interfere with your use of the same phone for voice calls. --FRED P.S.--While in COMPUSA...I didn't see the ZOOM product, but at <$50/connection, it looks very competitively priced...FWIW

Harris Semiconductor to Participate in UNH Multi-Vendor Interoperability Demonstrations at Networld+Interop '99 University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab Booth to Simultaneously Interoperate Wireless Devices from 13 Leading Manufacturers MELBOURNE, Fla., May 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Harris Semiconductor today announced its support of interoperability demonstrations to be held next week at the Networld+Interop Conference & Exhibition in Las Vegas. The demonstrations, which will take place at a booth being sponsored by vendors participating at the University of New Hampshire's InterOperability Lab, will illustrate the ability of wireless local area network (WLAN) products to achieve multivendor coexistence and interoperability while maintaining superior networking performance. WLAN products from 13 leading manufacturers will participate. The demonstrations (Booth #5811) will feature IEEE802.11-based radios -- primarily PCMCIA cards and remote access points -- from various manufacturers sharing voice, data and video using 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology. UNH/IOL will simultaneously demonstrate both direct sequence (DSSS) and frequency hopping (FHSS) spread spectrum products. ''Harris recognizes that true multi-vendor interoperability and coexistence is critical for the mainstream adoption of wireless local area networks, particularly in the corporate environment,'' said Ron Van Dell, vice president and general manager of Harris' Communications Product Business. ''Our collaboration with UNH's interoperability lab underscores our ongoing commitment to driving adoption of WLANs, both through our involvement in interoperability studies and standards development, as well as the development of highly integrated, high performance WLAN chip sets -- which serve as the foundation for many of the products being demonstrated next week.'' Participating vendors in the UNH/IOL interoperability demonstration include Aironet Wireless Communications, BreezeCom, ITRI, Intermec, Lucent Technologies, No Wires Needed, Nortel Networks, Nokia, Proxim, Symbol, Telxon, Zoom Telephonics, Cabletron and SpectraLink. About UNH/IOL The goal of the UNH/IOL is to provide conformance and interoperability testing for products used in networking as well as offering the students of UNH an opportunity to receive a quality education in the Information technology industry. UNH/IOL provides interoperability testing for 1394, ADSL, 10Base-T, ATM, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, FDSE, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, IP Routing, Network Management, Token Ring, 100VG-AnyLAN, VLAN and Wireless.
