We are looking at uypgradeing to the new 56K modem cards in the 4004 chassis. Because of performancve we want to keep a maximum of 60 modems per chassis. The question is, should we go with 12-cards or 16-cards? The question of available slots and price is a wash. 1. Are the 12-mod 56K cards new cards or re-furbs of the 12-mod 33.6 cards? 2. Will there be support for the 12-mod cards in the future, or is Ascend positioning the 16-mod card as the flagship? 3. Is there a performance benifit from having 12 modems on 1 card vs. having 16 modems? eg.. is it the same CPU and bus and architecture except the number of modems? Also -- is there a choice of 12 or 16 mod cards with the 4048 or does it default to the 16-mod card? Thanks for any insight to help us make the right choice. .stb ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq">http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq</A>> or <<A HREF="ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt">ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg01208.html">Re: (ASCEND) 12-card vs 16-card (56K)</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Matt Holdrege <matt@ascend.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01202.html">(ASCEND) k56</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01198.html">Re: (ASCEND) Experience with NetWarp128 and NetWarpPro?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01197.html">Re: (ASCEND) RIPping out default routes</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg01208.html">Re: (ASCEND) 12-card vs 16-card (56K)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#01199"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd46.html#01199"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
