OK. Let's try again.  I don't think anyone has suggested that ISPs use
standard Courier V.Es - they are an end user modem.

As/when/if X2 is released, USR using end users should be able to use X2
with USR using ISPs

The ratio of USR using ISPs (and users) is MUCH higher in the good ole US
of A than it is here.

ps. I have NO wish to move to the USA, in fact I don't even ring an ISP -
FidoNet forever!!
