Oh really?  As an owner of 3COM stock, you're probably aware that they
bought out USR.  As well, you probably know that 3COM is one of the
biggest supporters of the Flex standard.

USR made their money, this is going to go the way of the HST, that no
one supported.

Its great for people who can't wait, but USR is counting on these very
same people shelling out more money later, either on a new modem, or
another upgrade...

Open standards always win.
