 RT> ver.516 seems to be alright.
And ver.502 (Zoom 2812) works.  Just not as well as .516 or 1.02
 CF> K56Flex was actually Rockwell's K56Plus. The Lucent chipset is the
 CF> first _actual_ implementation of K56Flex.
In what way was .502, .516, or 1.02 series _not_ K56flex?
Ascend and Cisco servers work alright with all versions.
And are backwards compatible with K56Plus AFAIK
(there were no released K56Plus models from Zoom btw)
 
 CF> by rushing whatever they could to market. What they put into the
 CF> market was _not_ what it claimed to be either.
The only serious modem maker AFAIK was Supra with their Express 56e (?)
They're offering a update swap program now.  There may also be some
Hayes out there too since their "Upgrade any old modem for US $99
(UKP 99 in UK)" had been running for sometime.  But I don't know of an
update swap program for them - yet
