Leander,

Option number 5:

- The product hasn't shipped yet, so nobody has one... yet.

Personally, I have orders placed for 2 PM3 boxes. I have faith in
Livingston's engineering staff and in the reliability, inter operability,
and standards compliance of their products. Even if everyone there except
for Andy hates NT! ,) With any new product, you should expect little
incompatibilities and glitches in the field. Livingston tests their
products, but there is no way that they can test all modems/isdn ta
products with all OSs and the PM3 before it is released into thousands of
demanding and very different real world operating environments. As usual
they will issue patches and OS revisions as bugs are fixed and features are
added.
