The K56Flex program notes includes the following: Software Upgradable Architecture The Rockwell K56flex technology in the Series56 Digital Modems is software upgradable assuring compliance with evolving 56 Kbps standards. ..which I interpret as "very unlikely that it will require hardware upgrade", and similar verbiage is found on the Rockwell/Lucent and USR sites referring to the final 56K standard. All are expecting it to be a software upgrade to the "final" standard. >2) Ascend continues or extends their upgrade offer. > >The reason I am asking is that the deadline for the upgrade is coming, and >since we have almost no 56k modems homologated in our country, I hate to >do an expensive upgrade that no one will use and then get to do it again >when the "final" standard comes out. Thanks for any insight. Well as certain as it can be, I would say the upgrade now should be a safe proposal. There are other documented benefits besides the 56K modem support, too.
