Yes, we will be--in fact we already are. We are part of the same $50
Million Dollar Launch--Ascend just happened to leave our name off :-0.
Currently ISPs who register for PM3 56K upgrades on the Livingston website
and said that they "would like their company listed on the official K56flex
website" are posted on the official K56flex website--see www.k56flex.com.
Choose "industry partners" URL, then scroll down a bit, and you will see
list of Livingston's PM3 customers who will be upgrading to K56flex.
(Approximately 400 ISPs owning PortMaster 3s are listed here.) We will be
emailing (over next 2-3 weeks) to these PM3 customers to get some additional
info to make the list more user friendly. K56flex momentum is starting to
build :-)

>Millions of K56flex subscribers are looking for you

>The directory will be hosted by all K56flex members and promoted
>heavily to their 20+ million current installed base. Over a million
>hardcopy versions of the directory will be available in magazines and
>retail outlets. ISPs acting now to support K56flex will be the first
>listings in the directory for millions of subscribers to call.

>Ascend MAX Products
>
>To be included in the directory, you must offer K56flex access at one
>or more of your POPs. So you need to upgrade your current MAX with
>K56flex modems or purchase/lease a new Ascend MAX. The new MAX product
>line now offers the best price/port in the industry.

>Deadline: first in gets most

>Initial release of the K56flex ISP POP Directory will be in early May
