Well from what I know there is an older chassis that does not have the
integrated fan tray, the newer chassis with the integrated fan tray which I
think most ISPs that use TC are currently using from what I have read, and
then the brand new TC 1000, pretty blue tabs and fancy new architecture.
Yippee!! New equipment mean more money.....
And yes Jeff, I would have to agree the support contracts are ridiculious.
And they probably won't get any better.
Getting a lot of mixed ideas of if the v.92/v.44 code will be able to be
used on the 24 port DSP cards? Or will have to upgrade to the new 96 port?
Lance, above said he has tested the 96 port DSP in an older chassis. Great
for you. But haven't used this in the field. I guess, what everyone and
myself wants to know is if the 24 port DSP will be compatible for v.92, are
the new cards *really* compatible with the now older chassis (not the TC
1000), and when will we get the answers needed.
The way I see it the ISPs get screwed (excuse my french) one way or another
by the manufacturer's who supply the access equipment. They will market a
new line which will require upgrades of equipment to make more money off the
ISPs.
Fortunately, I use another type of access equipment for our larger markets.
The only thing that is supposed to be required is a simple upgrade of a
flash card and new modem code. **Knock on wood**....Never assume anything. I
am hopeful to have this up and running on this equipment by May/June. But
usually add about two to three months to the expected due date and your
usually right. Plus working out all the bugs from the initial codes.
