And you are correct, the 4048 chassis is a 4004 with some slots disabled. Why is Ascend packaging the 4048 this way if you can reasonably put 72 modems in it? Why even sell the 4048? The only explanation is that the 4004 chassis is not a good performer at above 48 modems. .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="msg00151.html">Re: (ASCEND) 48 modem limit on Max with 56k cards</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Kevin Smith <kevin@ascend.com></LI> </UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg00150.html">Re: (ASCEND) 48 modem limit on Max with 56k cards</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Kevin Smith <kevin@ascend.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg00140.html">Re: (ASCEND) 48 modem limit on Max with 56k cards</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Kevin Smith <kevin@ascend.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00143.html">RE: (ASCEND) 5.0Ap5 on a Max 1800</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00142.html">(ASCEND) Re: Netwarp 2.2.4</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00140.html">Re: (ASCEND) 48 modem limit on Max with 56k cards</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00150.html">Re: (ASCEND) 48 modem limit on Max with 56k cards</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail8.html#00141"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd5.html#00141"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
