Re: (ASCEND) Pipeline 25?

[Ted Olson <tolson@ocsnet.net>]

Thanks much for the multiple feedback, sounds like good advice. The only
3Com unit we've seen (the Impact) does not have DBA (dynamic bandwidth
allocation), does the LANmodem? P50 would be fine with us to use, we have
lots of those out for small LANs and are happy with them - but for an
individual with just a single computer and no expansion plans, it's still a
little too much $$$ to be attractive.

Cheers,
Ted
