16 modem 'components' will produce more heat than 12, but when comparing a MAX with 48 modems, then there will be 3 * 16 or 4 * 12 - same number of 'heat producing modem components', BUT only 3 cards used in the 16mod case. I think the airflow discussion comes into play then. For a "full" MAX we are talking 6*12mod or 4*16mod - the 6*12mod will produce more heat than 4*16mod anyway - and then add on the airflow discussion....but of course that only gives you up to 64 modems available per MAX versus 72 with the 12mod :) > Also remember they have moved alot of the PPP setup/DSP down to the >modem pack, Will this affect a 16 Mod card? Dunno. Yes same architecture on all of the cards 8mod, 12mod *and* 16mod. >So far, And >my experience is only 2-3 days with the K56 12 Mod cards but they >are working out really good. Others....?
