If you hurry and download them before Ascend realises they are still there:
        http://www.ascend.com/private/sftware-opts/BETA/
If Ascend removes access to the beta versions,
I still have some of the 7.0b4 & b7 "fti*.m40" files on my TFTP server...

Bull, plain and simple.
7.0.0 has bugs that DID NOT EXIST in some of the beta versions.

7.0b4 is the best one _I've_ seen.
I ran 7.0b4 on _ALL_ my maxen without a single problem,
from the day it was available until a few days after 7.0b7
was released, not a single crash, reboot, or OSPF lockup anywhere.

I upgraded two boxes to 7.0b7 and later to 7.0.0 and
each crashed as some point, then last night I tried to login via telnet 
to one of my units running 7.0.0 ftik.m40 and get immediately disconnected.
Once I drove down to the POP to find out what was up,
I got errors that looked like this in the debug mode:
        failed to create update task
        failed to create keyboard task

Needless to say I'll be UPgrading back to 7.0b4 tonight on all units.
