Never say never... ;) though Livingston has come out to say that they will
support the ITU standards... v.32bis, MNPs, V.34, and soon the 56K
implementation. This means HST, V.FC, and V.Fast protocols, but not
standards will not be compatible with PM3s and the soon to be released
PM4... okay okay, I'm joking about the PM4 coming out .... soon.... but
it's bound to happen! Realize that people with V.FC and V.Fast can still
use your PM3 though only at 14.4Kbps rates.
