The internet is wonderful from this perspective! All we have to do is put
out the facts and the truth ultimately gets out! We knew the MaxUP was a
"scam" and in fact asked many ISP's "why" they would go for it? We also
made the "true digital" modem argument to no avail relative the the DM12's
being RAM or ROM based and were actually accused of "negative marketing" by
some so we shut up. Ascend has now alienated thier customer base with this
56K "upgrade" plan which costs more for someone to upgrade a unit purchased
before Nov.1 1996 than it costs for a brand new PM3! Anyone who bought
since Nov 1. gets the priveledge of paying another $12K on top of what they
already paid. As I say all of the time, our customers are smart enough to
not be burned! Rule #1 at Livingston is" "existing customers come before
new customers"!

Joe
