Even in this case, you should see some improvement in overall performance
since the new architecture takes some load off the CPU and places it on
a per-card DSP instead.

2 reasons. a) USR will *not* license the X2 protocol spec to any other
RAS vendor.
b) The licensing agreement with Lucent/Rockwell prohibits
support for any other 56K protocol in the same system as
the K56flex protocol. (This is the case with Lucent, and
I believe it is also the case with Rockwell).
