This is about v.34, etc., not v.90.

|Hmmm this raises a point.
|
|So i take from this that customers are asking for v90? and if you cant
|provide it then they are moving from you? Due to the PM problems and then
|taking say a USR TC with v90 (uuugh thats another story and i wont mention
|that name ever... thanks to USR we have a PM3 :) - )
|
|My small point is in the UK and EU i assume v90 is not yet ready in beta
|form and then it might be a while before we see PM code - BUT and this is
|what we have told customers the fact that "v90 is not effective until Sept
|98
|and so you should have no need to worry about its use" - as of today we
|have had no customers move away from us to another ISP that provides v90
|support and i don't think its an issue yet - come Sept 98 we will be
|compliant and hope with stable code... god willing and stuff ! It seems
|to me that the "customer is right" attitude is going a little too far in
|this issue and they should be told so!
|
|They have x2 and K56flex and they should be glad dammit <g>
|
|Just my opinion and no one elses.
