Patton is not going to eat anybodies lunch unless they get their 48 and 96 port models working. We had several units for about a month and could get nowhere the connection speeds that we got with our old Quad Modem cards. Proceed carefully with Patton. They are also slow to refund the money you paid in good faith. "Accounting" is never available to answer you questions about "where's the refund". At 11:09 AM 4/6/01 -0400, you wrote:
The market for 3COM gear should be flooded in the next year as most of the year 1-2 HiperDSP leases expire. I'm giving up a chassis next month. v.92 is not a good enough reason to stay 3COM with all the minuses that come with the support/software.
Companies like Patton are going to eat 3COM's lunch in the small/mid sized ISP arena....
Since support is sold per card (and you gotta cover all the cards!) quick add up and see what 3COM is gonna cost you to go v.92.
Then look at all the OTHER RAS vendors that are doing FREE v.92 upgrades....

Who actually has a service contract except ANS/AOL and such? In addition, it also says nothing about supporting v.92 on anything but Enhanced chassis' (DS3 Ingress/Quad DS1 DSPs, 128M HiperNMCs and newer HiperARCs (256M and faster processers?) - not necessarily single T1/E1 HiperDSPs, or 16M HiperNMCs or 64/128M HiperARCs.
Overall 3Com/Commworks will find a way to try and get money out of us - who is purchasing near the quantity of modems that they did two years ago. Only time will tell - (I mean, when did they ever meet a code update date in the past?)

It's my understanding that it will be free - if you have a service contract...
