I hope you're [close to] right on those dates.. I'd rather not make bets
because I don't trust this new technology enough to trust that Livingston
can even get it out within two weeks.
I got a new Motorola ModemSurfr 56k modem the other day. It doesn't even
connect to Motorola's K56Flex dial-in system - it just gives garbage in
K56Flex mode, if I manually put it in V.34 it works though. They're using
an Ascend box.. go figure.
Livingston.. (Marty I believe you mentioned this before) any chance of
letting me try this modem on some K56Flex dial-ins at Livingston to make
sure it works right.. to help test the new code/chips?

The STAC ComOS support and card is done and will be shipping soon.
I wonder if they'll have multi-T1/E1 port cards available?
