OK, time to get some facts... Does the Patton equipment fully support V.92 at this time? Modem on-hold, fast-connect, fast-upload, and V.44? The last info I can find indicates only modem on-hold and fast connect are implemented. Does the Cisco implementation still not support fast-upload? What about V.44? When is it to be released, if ever? What about Lucent/Ascend? The last word I had on the 3Com code was that it would support all four in the initial release. Anyone willing to give us a heads-up? Do we have any feedback on modem compatability and connectivity issues? On the financial side, a first look at the math show it to be a dead heat between completing the required upgrades to my chassis along with support contracts vs. new Patton equipment when I look at annual costs for the next few years. I haven't yet gotten info on the other vendors.
