That's not the point.  The point is Rockwell has said they're not prepared to 
do any interop testing with 3Com and Lucent.

That is exactly what you claimed, Richard.  That USR rushed to market with 
V.34, before the standard was ratified, and the result was an incompatible 
modem.  DO you now admit there was _no difference_ to the spec between the 
time USR offered the modems and the standard was ratified?  A simple 
question, to which Yes or No would suffice.
