In order to get the new V.92 capable code for the TNTs you also need a support contract from Lucent. You also have to purchase a hardware and software support contract as well as purchase the code separately. Don't quote me but you end up purchasing about 3 separate packages to get the V.92 upgrade. To try and help clear up the confusion out there I have included a synopsis on the TNT and 3Com V.92 requirments...... The TNT only supports the V.92 code on the following cards: MultiDSP cards: TNTV-SL-ADI-C, TNTP-ADI-S-C, or APX8-SL-96DSP. These older cards will not support V.92: TNT-SL-DM48, TNT-SL-48MOD-S56, TNT-SL-48MOD-SGL/-S-C,TNT-SL-48MODV3-S-C You'll also need to make sure you have at least 32MB flash card. The 3Com TC1000 supports V.92 on the following cards: Hiper cardset and above with a HiperARC with 128MB RAM If you have a valid support contract the V.92 code upgrade is included with your contract. If you do not have a support contrat I have no clue what the code costs to purchase?? We support both Lucent and 3Com and like them equally well, while Lucent beat 3Com to market with V.92, the 3Com V.92 has a much fuller feature set. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Sprickman [mailto:spork@inch.com] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 10:19 PM To: Russ Miescke Cc: usr-tc@lists.xmission.com Subject: Re: [USR-TC] Anybody have v.92 working yet? And Thomas conveniently omitted their competing product, the Ascend/Lucent TNT boxes. Those alone count for about 60% or more of the installed base of dial gear (UUNet, BBN, Earthlink, etc. etc.).

That is all well and good, but for those of us who purchased the equipment recently, it bites to have to pay more for what we are still paying off. Also, once you find out what is going to cost, you may be singing a different tune. I sure am.

You know, for all the anger and bitterness out there from customers, Thomas (on the other side of the fence) makes quite a bit of sense.
I know for my part, having now gotten, what, like 4 years worth of use out of my DSP's/ARC's, 6 years including quads, NetserverPRI's, that they're long since bought and paid for. And I expect they'll continue to run for years to come. And the fact that I'm now NOT on equipment change #4, is worth something as well. Real glad I didn't stick with Ascend (2 months). Real glad I didn't stick with Livingston (6 mo of hell in '96). So, picked the right horse, even though I definately want to shoot the horse sometimes, mostly related to support/software kinds of issues, NOT the product itself, which I all too often forget.
That, though, being said before I get the complete picture on what it's all going to cost to upgrade-- Sure, I expect it's going to cost me something. And, you know, I think I'm a reasonable person when it comes to such things; if it's obnoxious, well, then it is. If it's reasonable, I'll probably buy.
Can anyone still make it "real simple" as to what this upgrade will cost? I get fatigued by the umpteen pager 9 words where 1 would do; some kind of chart, picture, you know, for me, bein' simple an' all...:^)
