The last item I read was that ZyXEL was not going to support K56Flex as
originally announced.  Instead, they were going to wait for the ITU-T
recommendation before implementing a 56K protocol.  The suggestion was made
this was due to the short time between the release of K56Flex on the server
side and the ITU-T recommendation expected release.  Locally a couple of ISPs
are now saying they will be testing K56Flex in August which is about 1 month
before the suggested date for the release of the final draft of the ITU-T
recommendation.
I can't remember the URL for the web page where I saw that comment but will
post it if it shows up and/or I remember it.

which makes sence.  The hardware guys have been slow to impliment the server
side of the 56k protocols.  ISP's don't have any say in this, they support
the protocol that their hardware manufacturer is planning on supporting, and
when they support it.
Sure, some of the hardware companies have 56k available now, but since it's
brand new, some ISP's are waiting till it's been flushed a bit.

Ok thanks, I just cant find the old anouncement on there web page. I sorta
thought they were backing out of it. Guess when I get a new internet account
I will have to go back and look for it.   But I dont know if the 56k thing
will take off. I hear some of the new cable modems hooked to your Lan card
looks to be the really HOT thing to come. something about 10Mips sounds
better then 56k. bi-directional. Guess I I can wait and see. As for ISDN
upgrade for the modem I have to say no to that they just want to much money
for a line, that and haveing to get the modem upgraded for it. Ps. How can I
get the darn  modem to stop RINGING so loud when you just turn it on if say a
call is coming in? (not after you turn the sound off with key commands, Maybe
they need a volume control on it Nothing like getting blown off the chair at
night when you switch it over from the bbs to the other computer).

: it is possible to pick it up either via normal modem/isdn connection or
: tunneled via Internet using TransX (see www.multiboard.com)
which is a very propriatary system.
Fido-by-ftp seems to be quite common, and I belive all the intl fidonet
links are generally doing that.
: Direct mailer connections via Internet are not yet possible.
Actually, direct mailer connections have been done for years.  I know my
Amiga software does it fine, as well as a couple OS/2 mailers, and all of
the Unix mailers that I know of.  I don't know of any DOS/win packages that
o
it though, not that i've looked.
