Chill out, Russ, you're wrong. Cisco doesn't even have a BETA out for
my five AS5200s. If lack of V.90 support seems to be putting you out of
business these days, I suggest you start looking for the real reasons.
If you think you're pissed off now, wait until September rolls around
and you _still_ don't have V.90 code for your Lucent equipment.

Remember how long it took for Livingston to ship your 56k TrueDigital
modems? (The delay was so frustrating for me that I went out and leased
five Cisco AS5200s.) Now that you have 'em, you probably don't care
about those delays anymore. The same will happen with V.90, eventually.
In the mean time, promote some _real_ technology...ISDN.

PS - I currently have five fully-loaded PM3s and five fully-loaded
AS5200s. While the Cisco hardware is nice, I can't tell you how many
times I wish I was 100% PM3s due to bugs and blatent design flaws in
Cisco's IOS. I'll be happy to elaborate privately via email.
