My point was that people are all up in arms about v.92 not being supported on the Quad modems, and are threatening to go buy Cisco RAS gear, when Cisco is not supporting v.92 on older equipment either. Isn't there some irony in that? I sure think so.
It's more than just them not supporting the v.92 on the quads; that's just another straw on the camel's back. I don't own any quads and am still considering switching (except my plan is Ariel cards in a linux box rather than Cisco gear). My bitch is about the dismal level of support which is consistantly getting worse (unless, of course, the customer has more money than brains). It's the feeling/observation that 3com no longer gives a shit about the smaller ISPs who built their business for them because they're spending too much time as a wannabe-NorTel, chasing the business of the big telcos. Telcos have no problem with extortionate service contracts, as those costs can simply fuel another rate increase. - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
