My gripe is that they are still asking $4K for NETSERVER based gear. MLPPP or even Multi chassis MLPPP is still kinda new to the Total Control cards. ISDN connections are even worse than .v90 connections.... a large percentage of ISDN calls will somehow lose routing when MLPPP to a TC. 3Com dropped the dial up market about 1 year ago.... look at the new 'features' they've been incorporating in TC, VoIP, Cellular, etc. When the damned things can reliably take a phone call and route the packets using something other than RIP (yeah, OSPF is in their but from what I read it's not the most reliable beast), THEN add bells and whistles.

Third, there is absolutely no mention of MLPPP, or even more critical to those who are growing, Multi-chassis MLPPP. You certainly won't be able to minimize redundant D channel usage in large aggregations of dialup lines.

Fourth, I'm supposed to purchase a mission critical piece of equipment from someone who built modem sharing devices up until last year?

Thus spake Paul Farber

My gripe is that they are still asking $4K for NETSERVER based gear.

Personally...I wouldn't pay a dime for NETServer gear at this point...*shrug*

MLPPP or even Multi chassis MLPPP is still kinda new to the Total Control cards.

Actually...the TC gear has done MP for quite some time now. MPIP has been solid on the Arcs for quite some time now as well. MP on the NETServers worked fine...MPIP, however, *never* worked on the NETServers.

ISDN connections are even worse than .v90 connections.... a large percentage of ISDN calls will somehow lose routing when MLPPP to a TC.

Hrmm...I've never had any trouble with this on Arcs.

3Com dropped the dial up market about 1 year ago.... look at the new 'features' they've been incorporating in TC, VoIP, Cellular, etc.

Yeah...I don't have any great desire for VoIP and Cellular capabilities...but can see where some would.

When the damned things can reliably take a phone call

Agreed...though this is a DSP thing...yes, the DSP code still needs to be made more reliable...5% connect failure seems to be the going rate...that's high...though some of the blame is with crap client side modems.

and route the packets using something other than RIP (yeah, OSPF is in their but from what I read it's not the most reliable beast), THEN add bells and whistles.

true, true. OSPF needs to have its feature set filled out more. Other routing protocols should be added. BGP would be one that I'd like to see actually...though that would be a lower priority. I definitely agree with you here...get the basic functionality down and *SOLID* before moving development assets elsewhere.

I've been wanting a pure dial up RAS for a while... nothing as complex as TC for handeling mass marketed dial up access.... looks like Patton listened.

Yeah...the problem there, being...there's really not much market anymore for a *pure* dial up RAS. Besides...a RAS really is a router...and to build a good RAS, you're really building a good router with extra features. (a RAS is a router, but a router isn't necessarily a RAS) Agreed, you can still make a good router/RAS that's not as complex/complicated as the TC...but then again...the TC is a very flexible and powerful RAS...I can see the need for something simpler in places.

And there is NO WAY a NETSERVER based chassis is worth $4K. Christ, they were only $10K NEW.

Considering that NETServers are inherently broken in several ways, I tend to be of the opinion that anyone selling one for anything other very limited solutions is pretty much committing fraud. But then...that's just my $.02. -- 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.

Unfortunatly, bells and whistles is what fuels the market. Big places want to see those features (telcos, etc) so you have to be working on them to stay competitive, or else you blink, and your behind. FWIW, Netserver chassis were $30k+..................they only dropped to $10k after being out for a while, and towards the end.

First, why are you discussing Patton on this list?

Second, I don't respect or purchase from companies that use misdirection in their advertising or market position. The Patton doesn't do 30 or 60 channels, vs 3Coms 'limit' of 48. I don't care what it will do in Europe, and I hate people who use apples and oranges comparisons.

Third, there is absolutely no mention of MLPPP, or even more critical to those who are growing, Multi-chassis MLPPP. You certainly won't be able to minimize redundant D channel usage in large aggregations of dialup lines.

Fourth, I'm supposed to purchase a mission critical piece of equipment from someone who built modem sharing devices up until last year?

It's old, unsupported, dosen't do mlppp, has routing problems, an underpowered CPU, not enough RAM, slow management card.

For the cost of an old, outdate 2059, you can get the same ports (48) for slightly more out of patton.

How many ISP's leased 2059's with FMV cause we KNEW they were going to be discontinued... yet resellers are jacking the price up to 4500 on these 486 based RASes?

I hate when businesses screw themselved... knowingly.

Obviously. So we're going to get 24 or 23 ports with the patton. And we're comparing that to a 48 port TC. Yeah, it's old, unsupported, but the price isn't REALLY that bad. :)

How many ports on a Patton 2810? I see info at http://www.patton.com about the 2800, with UP TO 30 ports (E1 I assume).
