Look back as far as you can Richard, you will find that my position has 
_always_ been one which supports maximal interoperability between modems from 
whomever. The only things I have called you to task on are unsubstantiated 
claims, or outright falsehoods. 
As for V.90, consumers could care less about which company has the most of 
their intellectual property inherent in the protocol, all they want is 
something that will work irrespective of whose central site equipment is on 
the server end.
