o New modems:  New modems were installed on  6210333.   The  new  modems
  support 56K using the V.90 standard.  Currently we have on this number
  120 modems which support 56K and 60 modems which  support  33,6K.   In
  less  than  3 weeks we'll have 240 modems on that line, all supporting
  56K.
  In about 3 weeks we'll also have a new number in Rehovot with  digital
  modems and ISDN.
  If you are using the old numbers (6540303,  5671211)  please  move  to
  6210333, as these numbers will be cancelled soon.
