They will have an all new OS. I've talked to testers - they haven't been flattering to say the least. 2. It still lacks OSPF, which tends to be a big issue for the large users who're looking at this kind of thing. 3. No T3 - not dense enough. 4. No variety of interfaces which other products offer. It basically nothing more than a dense modem/ISDN rack, lacking advanced comm server features of the other vendors. And a brand new OS is always a joy. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <<A HREF="http://www.livingston.com/">http://www.livingston.com/</A>> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <STRONG>Follow-Ups</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg10097.html">Re: (ASCEND) The MAX TNT (fwd)</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: Josh Bailey <joshb@xtra.co.nz></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10093.html">(ASCEND) spam harvester</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10080.html">(ASCEND) Max4000 + TNT Stacking</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg09854.html">Re: (ASCEND) The MAX TNT (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg10097.html">Re: (ASCEND) The MAX TNT (fwd)</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#10081"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd209.html#10081"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
