|   At issue during December were two remaining    |
|   items out of a total of 11 key components of   |
| the V.PCM standard. Intel brokered a compromise  |
|   that gave the nod to Rockwell K56flex backer   |
|   Motorola on one issue, and GDC, Paradyne and   |
|   3Com on the other. In all, 10 of the 11 key    |
|   start-up, data mode and other primary issues   |
|  have now been decided in favor of the K56flex   |
|     camp, which means that K56flex software      |
|  upgrades to the new standard are now likely to  |
|   be even more straightforward than previously   |
|                   anticipated.                   |
