I agree that 56Flex will probably sweep this away. Well, actually I
think that when the proposed standard is met in September that it will
be a combination of both (as not to upset everybody in the
industry). Currently USR and Ascend (as well as some others) are
offering free upgrades to whatever becomes standard, so there is really
no wrong choice.
It is also true that the fastest you could EVER go on a phone line is
53,600. Why pick on USR for claiming that X2 would go 56K? Doesn't the
term Flex56 also imply that the speed will be 56K? Seems to
me that it does. It is not like Flex56 can go a true 56K and X2 cannot.
There are powers much greater then themselves governing that problem :)
