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. >We are getting great reviews by our users who are switching >rapidly from other local ISP's.

Kinda like V.Fast. 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).
