     CF>> V.502 works at V.34, not at K56Flex.
 RT> I think you'll find that it was the v.11* series that was K56Plus 
    CF>> K56Flex was actually Rockwell's K56Plus.
 RT> What proof do you have that ver.502 was actually K56Plus not
 RT> K56flex? 
Look at the dates Richard.
     RT-> In what way was .502, .516, or 1.02 series _not_ K56flex?
 CF>> The ROM mask of v.502 was cast before Lucent even got into the mix.
 RT> Think you'll find that was ver.11* which Zoom never shipped
I'm not just refering to Zoom alone.

 RT> Impossible.  K56Plus code didn't have the ability to Flash the

There were none in wide distribution.
 RT> Ascend and Cisco servers work alright with all versions.

 RT> Yes, the Open Forum hadn't formed then, but thanks for your

Just a matter of two months ago. For 2.5 months of client sales, there were 
NO servers of _any_ kind in existance.
    CF> The Hayes swap program is in effect now.
 RT> Ah, havn't seen their swap program yet. If you have it saved,

Will do If I can find it.... I've had a bit of a problem with OS software 
here recently, and am FAR behind.
