Why would you suggest a 4004 over a 4048 to do a mix of analog and ISDN? I currently have 6 PM3's and have yet to find a modem that doesn't connect with the correct init string on the client side. I also do a good mix of ISDN/DOV on CT1's with the PM3's. I own a naked 4004 for strictly ISDN dedicated customers and have noticed it takes a huge performance hit with 3 PRI's installed in the box, so much so I will not put a 4th into the unit. I'll buy naked PM3's before I buy another Ascend MAX for ISDN only. Too many small problems with the MAX, they always seem to be resolved, but it's the code of the month I don't like with Ascend. ============================================================== Tim Flavin Internet Access for St Louis & Chicago Internet 1st, Inc Toll Free Sales & Support 800-875-3173 <A HREF="http://www.i1.net">http://www.i1.net</A> For more information email info@i1.net ============================================================== ++ 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="msg05520.html">Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4048</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Craig Salmond <salmond@unix.cde.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg05498.html">Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4048</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Craig Salmond <salmond@unix.cde.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg05501.html">Re: (ASCEND) Cause Code 17.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg05498.html">Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4048</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg05498.html">Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4048</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg05520.html">Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4048</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail136.html#05500"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd40.html#05500"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
