All of the code is Lucent (not just 56K) again its flattering to think that
you believe Livingston's modem code could be of better quality of Ma Bell
ie.. Lucent!

This definately does not put us "back at the starting gate". Lucent (AT&T)
ship millions of V.34 modem DSP's and have tons of interoperability
experience in the modem arena. If we didn't believe this could offer a step
up in quality from what we have today then we'd likely not pursue this
alternative. This will be released _when_ we know it _is_ a better performer
than even our current solution.

We'll do everything within our control to assure that what gets released is
a transparent solution from your customers perspective.
