Subject: AT&T vs. Novation lawsuit?

There has been some talk on info-apple that AT&T have successfully sued
Novation over the Apple-Cat modem, which apparently is the premier modem
among phone phreaks.  The Cat can generate all the tones phreaks love,
2600Hz, KP, MF tones. (it doesn't support them DIRECTLY, but the modem has
oscillators (or whatever) in it that make it capable of many sounds, even
crude voice synthesis)
  I don't understand how AT&T could get away with this kind of bullying.
The people they should be suing are the ones who developed TSPS in their
infinite wisdom.
