Quick question, Do you know of a good working customer end modem to use on a ISDN line to dial into TC100 (HiPerARC, HiPerDSP,HiPerNMC) gear? I hear that Verizon is going to offer a test ISDN flat rate service to selected 'rural' comunities in my service area (Northern NH) to satisfy political presure to provide 'Broadband' services where no other affordable High Speed conectivity is available. I'd like to be able to offer aN install package with CPE to take advantage of this "_new_" ;-) product in the three towns they (Verizon) are going to run this test case in.
I'm jumping in late, but just wanted to add that we have customer using 3Com, Ascend, and Netgear ISDN TAs and routers on our total control gear working fine. I agree with Brian at Solunet, it's too bad the Pipeline has been EOL'd, that was always our first recommendation to customers. But when you can find them, they still work great. Don't know what others think, but based on experience I tell customers here to stay away from the Motorola Bitsurfer model line. It may be just bad luck for us, but we've had nothing but trouble trying to get customers set up with these units. We have been seeing an increase in ISDN interest in the last few months. Would be nice if SBC would lower their flat rate in Northern California, but people take what they can get, and right now, a lot of the area we service is either too far out for DSL and can't get cable. That's all I have to say about that :) -Lee
