V.90 is supposed to be a standard among several
hardware shops. If the V.90 modem of Rockwell
is incompatable with the V.90 terminal server
of Lucent, THERE IS NO V.90 STANDARD.
This is what a standard means: brand "A"
(Rockwell modem) connects to any brand supporting
the same standard (V.90 PM-3). If it does not
work it is not an issue of who is wrong,
(Rockwell did not submit to compatability
testing), it is an issue of either:
1) one party is using the name of the standard
without supporting the standard, fraud; or
2) neither party bothered to conform to the
standard, both the Termnal server maker and
the modem maker have misrepesented their product
and damaged the purchaser.
Which is it?
The standard is written down I presume
there is no need for ISP's buying PM-3's
or customers buying Rockell, 3COM or USR
V.90 modems to suffer incompatablilities.
Whoever does not meet the standard
as written down should refund all the
money collected for a product with
the V.90 label on it. How could
someone who does not meet V.90
keep money paid for a product that
was guaranteed to be V.90 but
is not V.90 ?
If it is pre-V.90, call it that
and let your customers know that you have
not yet lived up to the "free upgrade
to V.90" promose made on the outside of
your box, yet.
