>MODEM MAKERS REACH AGREEMENT ON STANDARDS
>The battle over technical standards for 56-Kbps modems appears to be over,
>with rival camps tentatively agreeing to a compromise between 3Com's X2 and
>Rockwell International's K56flex technologies.  The new international
>standard, approved by an International Telecommunication Union working
>committee, incorporates details from both transmission techniques, leaving
>both sides claiming victory:  "Everybody is a net winner in this one," says
>an analyst at a modem-market tracking firm.  With a new standard in place,
>it is expected that most 56K modems made this year can be upgraded fairly
>simply through the addition of new software.  (Wall Street Journal 8 Dec 97)
