I tried to get Intel's 800 # from 800 DA and got some OTHER poor woman who 
apparently gets lots of calls. She KNEW the unlisted Intel number, though.

It is 1.800.538.3373.

Intel said several things of interest.

1) they are not publishing the 800 # any more because it gets too many calls 
from folks that don't read the manual first. They feal that their corporate
customers would rather pay for the call and get through faster.

2) the v.42bis support in available right now, not next month.

3) they are using the Rockwell chip set. (does this mean there will be NO 
v.32bis upgrade?)

The person I was talking to was unaware of v.32bis, and comp.dcom.modems
for that matter. He did say that most of their staff was at comdex.
