     What he's refering to is the ability to be a "triple" standard modem,
thus covering the Telebit, V.32, and HST types. Given USR can get rights
to the telebit protocol, this could be a good deal - hence you wouldn't
ever have a problem connecting to any modem (of course this will take time
before all the bugs are worked out).

     If USR could price this modem at around $1000, it would be a very HOT
seller. The dual standards are good now, given they improvethat..wow.
