I have read how wonderfully the initial Rockwell chipsets interoperate with 
the Lucent servers (as in not at all).
And exactly when has K56Flex demonstrated this ability to provide 56kbps 
download speed (or even *match* x2's 53.3kbps)?  The answer is in the 
laboratory or in theory, but not in the real world.  It seems everyone's 
gullible to Rockwell and Lucent hype, but real world experience indicates 
they're simply blowing smoke.
