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. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
