Hello everyone!
I have a question that is more or less based on personal opinion, but I still
value any opinions on the matter.  I am interested in getting a USR Courier
(I have had a 2400 baud modem for 1 and a half years, enough said ),
prefably the newest mode number (I believe it was February), the 33.6
V.FC, V.34+, V.Everything modem, and of course the X2 upgrade (which from I
understand I will be entitled to a free upgrade to the new compromised
standrad when it arrives).  However, I am not sure if I should get the modem
and the X2 upgrade, and the wait for the standrad to come out and upgrade
there, or if I should just wait until the standard is decided and then buy
the newest Courier on the market.  Honestly, I have never been out modem
shopping.  I bought the 2400 second-hand from a friend, so...

Also, I would like to know what is the real difference between the K56FLEX
protocol and the X2 protocol, aside from their incompatibility with each
other and possibly their negotiations.  With the new standard, I guess that
reaslly isn't that important.  Call it a personal quirk, and it would help
to answer some questions.
Any help would be appreciated on which would be a better choice.  Thanks to
anyone who can help me out on this.
