Well as the PM-3 was released last month, you know the answer to that.
But, I will say that Livingston has had an outstanding record with the
PM-2e line. They stand behind their product and offer free flash ComOS
upgrades when necessary. Of course there will be bugs and enhancements to
work out. ComOS 3.5 already has had 2 revisions out. Our testing so far
prove them to connect generally as well as our USR Courier modems.
Livingston has the easiest setup by far over the Ascend and Cisco
products. Also, I believe the Livingston is only one of the 3 that has
true digital modems instead of a digital to analog handoff. This may
give them a distinct advantage in the 56K battle to come.
