Hi Bob:
What ultimately ends up happening is that both "standards" become
orphans and the people who "jumped the gun" by buying either type of
modem are out of luck. Remember HST modems? They would only connect at
16,800 with other HSTs. Everyone else would connect with them at
2,400. I know that Flash ROMs might help some people who bought K56 and
x2 modems but this is a kludge solution.
The lesson to learn is to always wait until the standard committee and
manufacturers come to a concensus on modem specifications. Then buy
the new technology.
Regards,
Darren
