Can you tell us which switch types?
>5. We will support 33.6 V.34+ calls, they do 28.8 V.34
Hopefully the modems will try to negotiate 28.8 _before_ 33.6. Those
non-ITU protocols have always cause headaches during the initial handshake.

Compression, great! With Ascend, Cisco, or just other Livingstons?

How many Livingston customers use IPX? Are legacy protocols realy worth
the effort to support and promotion?

A desireable feature to be sure but what I'd really like to know is how fast
these modems connect, how do they hold a noisy line, will they retrain up as
well as down, and how good is their interoperability with the other
popular modems (USR, Microcom, etc).

Beta schmeata, IMHO :-)

Speaking of which, when (if ever) will RADIUS be a real RFC.
