No. v90 is due (from what I've heard) for ratification (ITUT I think) sometime in September. v90 draft proposal was issued earlier. X2 and k56 flex are proprietary - i.e. they are not 'standards'. v90 presently is not ratified, and therefore not a standard. It is a draft proposal only. So what are these v90 modems? Perhaps they followed the draft. I would wait until the actual standard was ratified fully if I were you. -- John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
