I'm running a mixed setup, both quads and dsps in the same chassis talking to Arcs. The only problem that doesn't go away with upgrades is that the quad modems get "stuck" quite often. If I put them in an old Netserver chassis, they are fine. A sof reset on the affected ports will clear it up for a few days. I think I've even put a DSP in my old 45A test chassis and had the netserver see it, but that was long ago... Perhaps someone else could lend some info about putting an ARC in the old 45A chassis. Never done that myself... Charles | Charles Sprickman | Internet Channel | INCH System Administration Team | (212)243-5200 | spork@inch.com | access@inch.com On Sun, 15 Jul 2001, Brad Gass wrote:
Hello, all.
OK, this is probably going to sound *really* silly to all of you seasoned USR/3Com veterans out there, but it's a question about NetServers vs. Hiper ARC.
As I understand it, and appear to have witnessed first hand, probably one of the wider known flaws of the NetServer's (even in the last official code release) was the UDP lag issues, and that a HiperARC doesn't exhibit this issue at all. I'm currently using Quad Digital Modem cards (mix of both single and double sided), latest firmware in them, PPP in modem, and v.90 enabled, in a 45A chassis
So, I'm just verifying this before I go on a quest to find a reasonably priced Hiper ARC. Will the Hiper ARC will work with Quads? Do I need to have a Hiper NMC as well? Any special firmware/chassis requirements? What's the latest firmware revision of the Hiper ARC?
I've got a few other questions as well, but I'll save those for separate threads later!
