Liz, Thank you for the information.
I have a correction to your statements on TBR 21 testing: I asked a colleague of mine that has close contact with Dutch testing institute to query them on TBR 21 status in Holland. He received the following response last Friday (6/20): The Dutch testing institute confirmed the Netherlands is working on the acceptance of TBR21. Before that could happen the Dutch EC committee members had to submit a proposal to start TBR 21 testing. If other EC countries have no objections, then proposal is submitted to the Dutch politicians to make the final decision. The proposal was submitted to EC in late April. After submission to EC there is a 3 month waiting period during which time other countries can present comments or objections to the committee. The waiting period ends in late July. The Dutch politicians will then make their decision. They can take several months to do so. Although at times they have made decisions very quickly. Consequently, at this moment it is business as usual in Holland, meaning TBR 21 compliant modems will not be tested for TBR 21 compliance, until some time after late July. I hope this is clear to all. If anyone else has any corrections, comments or a more current status report, please let us know. Thank you in advance. Regards, Duane J.
