I have both PM3s and Cisco AS5248s that were purchased at the same time as my TotalControl Hiper systems and that won't ever see v.92 loaded onto them. Some of my Hiper equipment just turned 3 years old, and the fact that it's even able to migrate to the latest standards is something I value. Now I'd rather not have to pay for that, but after 3 years of use I don't think that the replacement of 1 card to bring an entire chassis up to an entirely new standard is such a terrible thing. Maybe 3Com would consider a trade-in program for the NMC. It would cost considerably more to move all of my ports to another vendor than it would to simply upgrade the NMC.
Check out Patton. It was going to cost me considerably *less* to forklift upgrade to Patton than to update cards and get support rapes^Wcontracts for the Total Control gear to get V.92. I don't think we're going to go that route...but for different reasons. -- 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.
