This sounds like, the one's of us that are a little farther down the
list, we are #469, who rumor has it will only receive enough cards for one
full chassis, might have a problem. The present cards seem to work well in
v.42 LAPM. You keep mentioning that changing to MNP5 will solve a lot of
the problems in the K56Flex cards. We have 3 PM3s here in one hunt group.
Do you think this hybrid type of system might be a random hit and miss for
a lot of our clients?
