hmmm..interesting, someone else just reported that to me as well. Fortunately I fall into the category of "not interested in HARC 4.2" rather than "not entitled to" anyway. ;-)
Actually...4.2.x isn't that drastic of a change...bug fixes and adds frame-relay (for the new NICs) and OSPF...other than that, there just really isn't that much difference. If you're not interested in OSPF or
well, I like OSPF........but the few people here posting wierd routing issues surrounding 4.2.x (like default routes disappearing)......has kept me from running it. Also, I have heard 3com say that you need 128MB per ARC to do 4.2.x, and I have a couple arc's still at 64MB. I have also heard that you only need 128MB if you do ipx............does anyone know the truth? I wouldn't think a few hundred or even thousand ospf routes is going to use 128MB.
frame, it might be worth it to get it for the bug fixes (some of which aren't insignificant). I don't see too much downside on it at this point, they already released the first version (4.2.29) and made their mistakes :) 4.2.32 looks to be pretty solid from what I've seen. I haven't upgraded throughout my network yet, but that's more an issue of not having the hours in the day to do it yet than not wanting to. :) -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
