(ASCEND) Re faster "modem" hype...

Subject: (ASCEND) 56K - How to promote/support?

     
I loved James note, he covered it all in this most recent issue of the
USR hype of X2/56Flex and as he said it is a real lose/lose.

It joged my memory of the last major fiesco that USR launched on the
industry just a couple of years ago, the "33.6" "standard" that wasn't.
I got to the point I had a prepared statement for customers and those
who had insisted that the new USR modem was infact "the standard". This
was a chase the fastest and drag everyone else with you. I still have
one of the early "33x" modems that I had to buy, then try and find out
it didn't work, then wait while USR prepared then sent me the new chip,
which didn't work, then get the one that did.

I had resolved never to buy another USR (or early standard) product
since then.
