I've been using the 2800 and now have a 2996 being shipped to me now. Comparing a 2800's performance to a DSP card there really is no comparison. In my specific arrangement the 2800's beat the DSP on connect speeds, reliabilty (no more 'hung modem' problems!) and the management console is way better than the DSP console port or TCM. Down side? None yet. I did get a call from Patton a day ago about a new firmware issue, a memory leak that would freeze the box after a week or so. Get this.. .THEY CALLED ME to tell me about a known issue..... anyone EVER get a call from 3COM about a KNOWN software issue??? Without being extorted for a support contract (like paying all that money would get you a proactive phone call about an issue... yeah right.) Patton is gonna each 3COM/Lucents lunch in the small/mid ISP areana. Paul Farber Farber Technology farber@admin.f-tech.net Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545 On Thu, 12 Apr 2001, Steve Johnson wrote:
A coworker of mine went to the ISP con and came back with a brochure from Patton Electronics, they make a 1u box that handles 4 pri (or T1/E1) I was wondering if anyone has used this gear before, and if it is an acceptable replacement for 3com gear?
One of the up sides is they give free support and free firmware upgrades to people who own the boxes. This is a nice feature =)
