Hi Poe,

[Thus spake Poe Lim unto Sunny Leung:]
 
 SL> You mean the 288 and 288D?
 SL> I saw them but didn't get too excited. Perhaps its me but I found
 SL> it hard to get hyped up at the show this year :-(

 PL> It was fun though, especially when JohnC spoke to the Banksia guys
 PL> about rack mount modems. :)

Tell us what happened! :-)

 PL> The possibility of 512K cable modems is very interesting, although how
 PL> much of that bandwidth is actually avaiable is moot. 

I read somewhere that the actual performance of cable modems wasn't much
better than that of 28.8k modems. Dunno whether that's true or not.
