Thanks for the input - I raised the issue because I had reached the same
conclusion from looking at the descriptions of the new products. The
AT&T sales people that I deal with were unable (or unwilling) to give
an answer about a 3B1 version for OSI.

At the same meeting where the 3B1 issue was brought up, I asked the
AT&T sales people why I should buy their 6386 machine as opposed to
the many others on the market. Their answer: "Well, you want to buy
from a company that is going to be around to support it's equipment,
don't you?"

Anyone have an "official" reply?
