I employ equipment from Lucent Technologies which is not
compatible with your proprietary technology and will remove
Diamond/Supra from our approved list of equipment as I already
have done (many months ago) with USR for similar reasons.
My users pay a *lot* of attention to my modem recommendations
for K56Flex modems and my list of approved modems will now be
reduced to only Zoom and Motorola.
Sincerely,
Don Lashier
