I just got off the phone with 3Com and the Quad cards will NOT do v.92. The 24 and 96 port cards will. Sheldon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Hege" <fhege@sover.net> To: <usr-tc@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 6:33 AM Subject: Re: (usr-tc) V.92
I called 3com and asked them about this. They told me that the 24 port dsps will support v92 sometime this summer and the chassis will support the 96 port cards. :) Sorry, I didn't ask about the quads.

Thanks for the info on the date. I think the 1000 have a different midplane as opposed to the older TC Chassis? It seemed to have a totally different architecture. I thought I read that somewhere on 3com/Commworks page. I haven't looked into it too much though.
The TC 1000 is the chassis with the integrated fan tray. The old
school
chassis (without the integrated chassis) are basically compatible with what's now the TC 1000, but lower capacity (fewer timeslots on TDM, slower packet bus I believe, etc.) but otherwise is basically the same...cards are swappable between the two chassis etc.
There is now (I think) also a TC 2000 that's a wholy new product, and to the best of my knowledge, can't swap cards with the TC 1000 or older non-integrated-fan-tray chassis. I haven't ever messed with a TC 2000 at all.
Re: v.92, v.44, and v.59 on quads...if 3Com/Commworks doesn't offer an upgrade to it, they're going to get an earful...won't be the first earful they've gotten from me, and probably won't be the last either.
I don't think IgLou is unusual in this respect, but a significant majority of our dial-in modems are still quads. For 3Com/Commworks to forsake this installed base, while being par for the course for 3Com/Commworks, isn't just shooting themselves in the foot, its more tantamount to unloading a full clip on full automatic into their own foot.
The really sad thing is I was told by my vendor this afternoon that v.92 will only be supported on the 96Port dsps. Also that the chassis with fan tray will not support the 96Port cards you need to buy the TC1000 Enhanced chassis. :(
