Is this REALLY true? A communication saleman engineer from
Lucent told me that, even though there's a license agreement that
you have to sign, it's not overly restrictive and there's actually no
license fees involved for just getting the hardware programming
information.
What is protected is the modem s/w written by Lucent and various
protocol technology it implements(V.90 etc). He thinks cleanroom
implementation is possible, even though it won't be an easy task.
