Edwin, You may want to consider getting away from whatever mail client you're using, or at least configure it to send mail in plain text format. Most folks on most lists would appreciate it. About the max 3000. I've no direct experience, but it's probably as solid as the rest of the Ascend line. It has the 100Mbit ethernet port, which I would imagine is as buggy as the 6000 chassis. It works, but in my experience, it doesn't like some hubs and switches. Works great with my cisco stuff though. As for getting up to the 8.x code. Why? i'm still at 7.0.26, and my maxes work flawlessly. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com > [mailto:owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com] On Behalf Of > Edwin_Everett at cargill.com > Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 5:08 PM > To: ascend-users at max.bungi.com > Cc: ascend at saffron.colloquium.co.uk > Subject: (ASCEND) Max 3000 > > << File: BDY.RTF >> << File: BDY.RTF >> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
