You claimed that there were problems with USR's implementation of v.32bis 
based on the use of the final draft prior to the General Assembly 
ratification.  Please document the changes in the final draft between it's 
leaving SG1 and being ratified.  The changes which would be required for your 
claim to have any validity.
Of course, this does rather contradict your earlier claim that USR was late 
to the market with v.32bis units.  What the heck, consistency is a bugaboo of 
small minds.

So you are saying that USR should implement every proprietary extension in 
the hopes of preventing connectivity problems caused by another company's 
failure to correctly implement standards?
