Once upon a time Roger Marquis shaped the electrons to say...
>FWIW, we're maintaining several P50s and P25 that will be sold as soon
>as Livingston supports Ascend(/STAC?) compression.

"Ascend compression" is a variation on STAC. They also added 'real' STAC.
We're planning on doing STAC, so we'd interoperate on that level. STAC
is the industry standard for ISDN data compression currently.

>PS. Does Livingston have a beta/test program? (-:

Yes. We pick sites for each beta program we run to get a good mix of
environments while keeping the program size managable. From time to time
you'll see a call for beta volunteers on the list.
