Yeah... so??? That's a router. How much has v.35 interfaces changed over the last 10 years. How much as 10base-T ethernet changed over the last 10 years?
You're saying router technology hasn't changed much over the past 10 years? What color is the sky in your world? ;)
Now, take the proper comparison (not one that just fits your cause), such as the Cisco 5200, which will not support v.92, and we have a real life comparison of a like product. A comparison of a technology that changes every year.
OK...its not a direct comparison...but its still good. Cisco 2500's don't/can't support the latest and greatest stuff due to technological limitations. But you'll notice that Cisco didn't just drop the product on the floor.
If this'd been 3Com/CommWorks, they'd probably disavow any knowledge of the product ever *existing*, let alone support it to the extent that the technology allows.
How about the Livingston PM3? There are quite a few of those out there and Lucent stopped software development for that product, which means no V.92. I'd have to say there's as many small ISP's with 3Com gear as PM3's. Also, don't you think those people who spent hundreds of thousands on Cisco AS5800's aren't bitching that they will never get V.92 without spending and additional hundreds of thousands on new modems? We all made choices, when 3Com offered to take my Quads when I was purchasing new ports, I boxed them up and mailed them back faster than you can say "problem avoided." Now let's see what they do with V.92 in terms of cost. -Ron GLISnet, Inc. 810/786.0454 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
