Not sure why the requirement for the hipernmc but the old ones are too slow anyway for larger chassis configurations.
Depends on what you do with them. Mine serve three purposes: -monitoring scripts hit them, and scripts are very patient :) -initial config (completely bearable, speedwise) -software updates That means I actually have hands-on "oh this is a tad slow" experiences maybe twice a year. I can live with that.
The primary reservation I have against paying for support and upgrading has to do with 'end of life on the hiperarc's and hipernmc's.
Hello?? What's that? I'm still getting over the quads being unsupported. My HiPer DSP and ARC's still seem so new... Is this definite? I've not heard anything about that. Isn't this akin to Cisco dumping everything but the 5800?
3Com is moving to faster processors, but the old ones should run the same code base. If they make a public promise for continuing support for the same codebase with an exception for processing power I will go with the upgrade, otherwise, too much of my current investment is EOL.
Weird. I don't think you'll get a promise from them, their track-record in this area is pretty grim. They certainly are helping the decision-making process along pretty well. Charles

While browsing about for more info on v.92 on the consumer side, I came across this. Commworks just isn't faring well here. Cisco is already shipping code???
And I assume we're still at a point where quads will NOT be supported?
Yes, quads will not be supported...they haven't budged on that piece of idiocy.
Are there any other catches, like "you must buy hiper nmcs to load the new code"?
You hit the nail on the head. You have to have at least HiPer NMCs to run V.92. I think it was already said that it is going to be a feature enable key, and thus added cost as well. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
