I got some promotional mail from Ameritech (a Western Union priority
letter, which somehow struck me as ironic) concerning a product called
Information Manager (TM). Claimed features: "LATEST TECHNOLOGY, one
system provides simultaneous voice communications, high speed data
communications and Ethernet LAN. INCREDIBLE ECONOMY, delivers 2 Mbps
digital power to the desktop. Uses your existing twisted-pair
wiring..."

They go on to claim that IM can be overlayed on one's
present Centrex, Dimension, or PBX.

Can someone help me out with what this is?
Is it based on the Project Victoria multiplexer?

Thanks,
