<.. Here is the ITU one for Aware..> This was not Aware's official notification of patent intention to ITU. It was was part of some earlier process contributions and informational only (no patent info). As I posted previously, Aware has yet to submit their official patent position letter to ITU. Won't be able to play much more here for awhile (though it is such fun <gg>), being elsewhere occupied at: Message 9762917

FYI-Texas.Net is now offering DSL Cable Modem service! What is Texas.Net's DSL Cable Modem service? Texas.Net's DSL Cable Modem service is a new service we are offering that provides a dedicated digital circuit between your home and Texas.Net. Speeds start at 1500k/sec (30-50times a normal modem) and go up to 6000k/sec (100-200times a normal modem). This new technology will help eliminate the slowness of normal analog modem Internet service. Web pages will snap instantly on your screen, and large e-mail attachments will download in just seconds rather than hours. How fast is Texas.Net's DSL Cable Modem service? Fantastically fast. You'll never want to go back to a regular modem. We offer 2 levels of DSL Cable Modem service: 1500k/sec and 6000k/sec. We recommend the 1500k/sec service as the average web page is only 50kbytes (or 400kbits). This means that the entire 400Kbit will come all at once (no waiting) as your internet connection is 1500Kbits wide. Texas.Net DSL Cable Modem service currently takes advantage of a special digital phone line provided by Southwestern Bell. When you order Texas.Net DSL Cable Modem service from us, we will handle the process of ordering the special line for you.
