Re: THINKPAD 535E AND MWAVE QUESTION

I don't agree, as most other modem manufacturers came out with software
upgrades to deal with it... only a few (MWave among them) have not yet done
so...  The mwave difference is that they have a problem at 28.8 while most
others are 56K with one 33.6 (Logicode) that I know of...

I suspect that Mwave and lucent are waiting for the v.90 thing to settle in
then they will send out one big upgrade... but only if they want to...

The problem most likely revolves around the astounding price of the equipment,
and the fact that it can be fixed at the ISP level... who would want to recall
a few pieces of $17,000 portmasters when it theory it can be fixed with
brilliant ISP technicians or modem software upgrades...
