I just re-subscribed to this list to see what kind of problems / chatter I would see. We are looking at adding 192 NEW ports and were considering USR as a provider. (Vendors please do not respond I have one in mind) You people whine about your TC's JUST AS MUCH as we whine about our PM3's. Looks like modem compatibility is just as bad as the PM3's Lucent's tech support is Free but sometimes difficult to get a human voice. TC's are $2k cheaper with the service contract than PM3's PM's OSPF works??? (At this point I don't need it) TC's chasis are upgradeable, with different cards Anyone have any other comparisons?
