> I was reading through the ISP Bimonthly directory and came across
> something very interesting. The editor's introduction mentions that "One
> vendor claimed 300 ISPs had "signed up" to support its technology and was
> rather widely disseminating this via press release". Now, my guess is
that
> they were referring to Livingston as they said they mailed the people who
> were supporting this vendor and I did get a message from them a while
> back.

> They claimed they counted each of these and came up with the number 223,
> not 300 and they claimed to have called some of these which most
responded
> that they were "unaware" of such a change.
>
> Now, the people who have signed up on your webpage to swap out their
cards
> WILL be supporting K56flex, so I'm sort of baffled by the numbers they
> gave for percentages of support.
>
> US Robotics 524 79.88 percent
> Rockwell K56flex 146 22.25 percent
> Lucent K56flex 62 9.45 percent
>
> Now, even if there were only 200 or so listed that will do the upgrade,
we
> would still be listed higher than Rockwell's listing.
>
> So I'm confused about this. It's not the first time Boardwatch has
screwed
> up royally when it comes to the Internet, but I want to know if it's
> really a mistake.
