Not only do you need USR Total Control, but, you need "digital channel
service" from your telco. This DCS plugs into a T1/PRI card in the TC
chassis. This is what USR explained to me. As far as waiting for a
standard to be approved, USR says that they can conform with a FREE
software upgrade {yet to be seen}. We are going to wait a few weeks or
months untill the dust settles. Maybee 3com/USR will even lower their
prices when there is more competition with the new standard.
Just a thought.

> I feel doomed here, I have committed to Emerald, Livingston and USR. now
I want 56k and it seems impossible.
>
> 1. I have a portmaster2e with 10 analog ports authenticating to emerald.
> 2. on those 10 ports are 10 sportster 33.6 modems (X2)
> 3. Our telco's local lines cannot handle ISDN
> 4. 80% of the customer base is X2
> knowing thses things, is it possible to run X2 modems on a pm2e?
>
> USR says not with Sportsters, it says that you need total control modems.
>
> Anyone have any ideas?
