Had a good talk with Tom from 3Com in my office last week. The V.92 upgrade will not be an extra cost item other than the fact you must have a contract to get the download. The quads apparently don't have the available space and processing power to handle V.92, though if you want to work on it you can figure it out and make a ton of money on the grey market. Not sure why the requirement for the hipernmc but the old ones are too slow anyway for larger chassis configurations. The primary reservation I have against paying for support and upgrading has to do with 'end of life on the hiperarc's and hipernmc's. 3Com is moving to faster processors, but the old ones should run the same code base. If they make a public promise for continuing support for the same codebase with an exception for processing power I will go with the upgrade, otherwise, too much of my current investment is EOL. BTW, when we talk V.92 we need to talk complete featuer sets. Some of the other vendors have major caveats in their support in order to claim they have it now.

While browsing about for more info on v.92 on the consumer side, I came across this. Commworks just isn't faring well here. Cisco is already shipping code???
And I assume we're still at a point where quads will NOT be supported?
Yes, quads will not be supported...they haven't budged on that piece of idiocy.
Are there any other catches, like "you must buy hiper nmcs to load the new code"?
You hit the nail on the head. You have to have at least HiPer NMCs to run V.92. I think it was already said that it is going to be a feature enable key, and thus added cost as well. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
