[comp.dcom.modems] V.32bis upgrade for INTEL 9600EX???

ALEX@auvm.auvm.edu (Alexander Couloumbis) (03/30/91)

  Does anyone know if Intel has a V.32bis upgrade for the 9600EX modem?
If yes what is the price?  If no, any idea when (if at all) will be
available :) ?

Intel, PPI, ATI, and all the other Rockwell-ettes are saying "this fall"
in response to such questions.

Since some of them haven't decided whether to redesign the motherboard
or swap out the R9696, there is no price structure as yet.

Although Intel has announced that they will offer a V.32bis upgrade for their 
9600EX modem in 1991, they have not announced the price, or the exact time. I
have heard from a reliable source, that the price for the upgrade will be less
than half of the 9600EX' retail price.  (The retail price for the 9600EX is
set at US$799.00 at this time.)
