So how are you going to manage the modem being on hold while they BS to on the line? I guess you could sell it as a premuim service, but you would need to break the v.92 and v.90 pools into seperate chassis/huntgroups unless radius or ANI/DNIS can somehow enable the .v92 for you on the fly. I don't see this as a good thing. How can you improve your service (ie make money off this upgrade) when most people barely understatnd that the computer uses the telephone to begin with? Every ISP uses idle timeouts and has a written interactive use policy to stop the very thing that v.92 is going to make available. The only GOOD thing about the v.92 is that from what I understand the hold feature can be turned off on our side.

I have heard, unofficially, that 3Com will support v.92 in the TC sometime around February to April of next year. It probably will not be supported on the quad modems. I have no idea if there will be a charge for the upgrade or if it will be covered by the service contracts (it should be, IMHO).
I think customers are going to want this. What they'll want the most is the Call Waiting feature that allows them to "save" the modem connection while they take a call. It will be interesting to see how we ISPs handle this. It's up to the ISP to determine how long we wait for them to come back.
The upload speed of 48k is probably not reachable. And even if it is, there is some debate about its effect on the download speed.
Heh, I was about to recommend going to the v.unreliable site for more information and then I looked at who I was replying to. :-)

Does anyone have any info on V.92 support in the TC line? Have any announcements been made by 3Com?
What's your opinion of V.92? Will you need to support it?
Thanks for any input - here or to me via email - mailto:richard@808hi.com
