(usr-tc) HARC memory (Success!)
by Mike Greene 11 Jun '01

Well the results are in! The proper memory chip is shown below... 128MB EDO 168pin BUFFERED 3.3v Popped that bugger in and inserted the card and presto, 128MB on the card, the ROM memory is NOT replaceable but I don't see that as being a major issue. As a reseller I paid $143.00 per chip, your mileage may vary... - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.

I'm looking for a dirt-cheap power supply for a Total Control Hub. AC or DC, any amperage. It doesn't have to be working but it does need to include both the front and back card. Please contact me off-list if you've got one. Thanks.

(usr-tc) [Fwd: V.92: USR/3Com blows random quadrupeds]
by Ronald Kushner 05 Jun '01

05 Jun '01

Found this on a newsgroup tonight. Any thoughts? -Ron -------- Original Message -------- Subject: V.92: USR/3Com blows random quadrupeds Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 17:12:07 -0500 From: Matt Black <albedo0(a)hotpop.com> Organization: And Now This Newsgroups: chi.internet I hadn't been paying any attention to this until just now, but it looks like 3Com/USR has been f--king up royally when it comes to making its analog modems compatible with V.92. First of all, most owners of USR V.90, x2, and V.34 modems, even late models, are just plain SOL with regard to flash-ROM upgrades, because relatively few existing USR modems will be upgradeable to V.92. That includes the Courier V.everything external, model 2806, of which 3Com has sold zillions and which still appears to be a current product (at least it's shown on the USR web site, with a list price). It seems that for most customers, USR's response is going to be "Sorry, but you'll have to buy a new modem instead." Of course, they'll probably give you a $50 trade-in allowance on your perfectly good $250 modem. Assholes. Second, apparently 3Com or USR has decided not to implement V.44, the better compression algorithm that supersedes V.42bis and that was approved along with V.92. USR is doing V.92, but not V.44. Third, there's at least one bad bug in one 3Com V.92 product, the Sportster model 5686. All of this is from Richard Gamberg's fabulously good modem pages at <http://808hi.com/56k/>. Specifically: V.92 news & updates: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92s.htm> USR V.92 bug: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92bug.htm> Additional questions for USR: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92q.htm> More on USR V.92 upgrades: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92usrc.htm> V.92 overview & background: <http://808hi.com/56k/v92.htm> Fortunately, V.92 shouldn't be that big a deal, because it doesn't contain anything that's really essential for most people. So judging by what I've seen so far, if you have a USR V.90 modem, you should probably stick with it and not try for V.92 unless you really need call waiting or the 48kb/s upstream speed. And keep in mind that you may never get V.44 from USR at all. So when it comes to V.92 modems, a different manufacturer probably deserves your business more than USR does at this point. Which is something I never thought I'd say. (I bought my first USR modem in 1990, and I've been a fan of Couriers forever.) BTW, on the earlier subject of badly-designed web sites that have too much flash, too many large images, and not nearly enough substance, I have to say that <http://www.3com.com> takes the grand prize. I hadn't known that usr.com is still the place to go for information, manuals, and downloads for USR modems, so a few days ago I tried 3com.com first. What a totally f--ked-up site. That gets my nomination for an award for the most bloated, useless, annoying, pointless, and time-wasting corporate web site in existence. The consultants who constructed that huge pile of shit should be taken out and shot, pro bono publico. I mean, *everything* is wrong with it. If you use a high-bandwidth connection then you might not notice it so much, except for the extreme difficulty of actually finding any information among the site designer's collection of vacation photos. But try it from a dialup connection if you want to get the full effect. Man, what a nightmare. - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo(a)xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.

(usr-tc) Diamond Super Sonic II?
by TC Hazzard 04 Jun '01

04 Jun '01

Hi; We have a user with a Diamond Super Sonic II modem. This modem is able to connect to our Lucent PM3s using V.90 modulation. But it uses v.34 modulation when dialing into our 3COM TC's. I assume there may be a V.90 compatibility issue so that this modem really goes to Kflex on the PM3s and V.34 on the TC's. I welcome thoughts anyone else has on this particular modem and the TCs.

(usr-tc) Changing IP Pool
by Michael J. Hartwick 02 Jun '01

02 Jun '01

Hi, we have a Hiper box that we have been adding some DSP cards to. My problem is extending the IP pool to cover the extra ports. Currently there are 4 DSP's with 2 more to be added today. They are using PRI's, but I want to put 24 IP's per DSP into the ARC. I currently have 1 pool defined as: Name Address Size InUse State Route Status pool1 xxx.xxx.xx.112/C 96 24 PUBLIC NO_AGGREGATE ACTIVE I want to change it to start at .64 and have 144 addresses. I think the best way would be to define 3 pools: .64/26 size 64 .128/26 size 64 .192/28 size 64 I even tried to just change the start address and pool size and the thing complains. > set ip pool pool1 iniTIAL_POOL_ADDRESS xxx.xxx.xx.64/C size 144 CLI - Request SET IP POOL failed on field INITIAL_POOL_ADDRESS CLI - Request failed with error: BAD_VALUE on value: 0.0.0.8 > Any suggestions?
