Here's my 2 cents: First of all, Lanquest didn't say if the modems were V.34 or 56k. They did basically a router test, not an Access Server test. They tested packet sizes of 64K and 256K when most of our customers have average packets sizes of 800K (for email and http.) There are a few other things I could criticize them on, but this whole thing gets petty. There was a Tolly test on the TNT which was a network access server based test. This test showed the TNT performing far better than the Cisco/Lanquest test did. Back when I was a customer, I never paid much attention to reports in trade mags. They never seemed to be based in reality. I always recommend that folks test the equipment in a real network doing the exact job that you need it for.
