Support? Market share? Reliability?

Livingston is in the top 3 vendors that I use for equipment, well actually
#1! The boxes work well, almost perfectly, still don't have
Bi-directional 33.6Kbps, but that's in the wings. The PM2s are
historically very reliable. Support staff are very knowledgeable. You
have this mail list for assistance. Setup is usually a breeze.
As for X2, you can't support the 60-90% of modems that will have K56Flex
technology...
Just a thought...
