Ya, but it says here *in writing* (on paper) -- "... with immediate free
upgrades to Lucent/Rockwell's K56flex(tm) and guaranteed free upgrades to
the final ITU standard when it is adopted ..."

Eh... well it also says here "... we're backing CommPlete with a
_100%_money_back_guarantee_. You risk nothing ..." and I would have to
agree, I really don't risk anything to try it... shit, if it works out
great... if not, we just ship it back... no skin off my back.... although
someone is bound to say that I will loose customers due to frustration,
yadda-yadda... but that's only if it doesn't work... if it *does* work...
well... <grin>
