3Com TCH-1000 Clearance Sale!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Sir
We are writing you to introduce best internet communication equipment (Remote Access Server) which is authenticated and used all over the world called "3Com TCH(Total Control Hub) for dialup internet (V.92 56Kbps support)"
Best of luck. We had two of these that wouldn't sell on Ebay for $20 that ended up in the dumpster when we moved. We literally *could not give them away*. :) Charles
We look forward to receiving your reply at an early date. Thank you very much.

Hehe glad to know I'm not the only one that has had that experience :-) Makes me want to cry when I think of what we paid for the gear new, and shortly before we outsourced we bought a pair of loaded chassis for $25 each as spares :-) Biggest problem I think with selling on eBay is that the chassis are so darned heavy that unless you find a buyer who is local, the shipping is the deal killer. I did sell one but the buyer had some pretty specific shipping instructions... "take out the power supplies and ship them to me, throw the rest out" :-) Cheers,
Mike <<<<<
The value has fallen over the years but the fact of the matter is I sell them all day long. All year long, for close to 10 years now. (Remember the Rack32 or the Cisco Clone AS5100???). YEAH I HAVE STOCK :) So please dont send me your lists at this moment. _____ Just giving props to a product that has made us all some money. Its a good product with many installed ports in Small business, ISP's to Large CLEC, fortune 500 companies. The bottom line is it just works. Lets not forget the good days.

Couldn't agree more on these points either. The TC chassis' worked and kept working, there is definitely something to be said for that. I still have the first chassis we bought from USR... the old 45A chassis with separate fan tray loaded up with analog/digital quads. Most of the cards have migrated away now but we used that thing and used it hard for 6 or 7 years with the only problem being one dead quad. Built like tanks too... I had one that I'm positive UPS dropped out of a plane without a parachute... twice... I had to pry the leftmost card and the rightmost power supply out with a hammer and crowbar (no exaggeration!) but the chassis still worked 100% It's more the market conditions than functionality I think, for the smaller ISP's especially, that sees a lot of TC gear getting mothballed. When you can buy outsourced national ports for half of what you are paying for your local ports in one city... pretty much a no-brainer :-) Cheers,
