I wouldn't tend to believe that it the PM4-TNT square off that
sold Livingston, Most likely it was the fact that Livingston does
put out stable products pretty much from day one. Only thing that
kills Livingston is that they are always so far behind in releasing
the product that most people have already selected their product of
choice.
Now, w/ lucent backing Livingston, they hopefully should be able to
get a product out the door at the same time their competition does.
In relation to the PM4 and TNT, What truly is the advantage of
the PM4 over the TNT? If it's modem ports, I'm sure the next generation
of modem cards will even that out. And by the Time Livingston releases the
next generation modem cards for the PM4, then the TNT-II will probably be
out.
