Hows this.....it was set to Rich Text.....sorry We need the 8+ because we have received the NavisAccess code 5.0 and were hoping it would fix some of our management and reporting problems with earlier versions but it does not support anything earlier than 8.0 (because of the MIB structure changes I guess) Reporting in the earlier version of NA did not scale to the level we needed for scheduled reports...(business units want to know) and 58 machines running two to three reports each was too much for the program... The other reason to get off the 1800s and 2000s was based on the reluctance of Lucent to continue producing code updates for the models....I was waiting for enhanced security for admin/helpdesk support (released in 8+) pseudo banner elimination in 8+, bugs in the modems when using outbound modem pooling..... -----Original Message----- From: troy at psknet.com [mailto:troy at psknet.com] Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 5:30 PM To: everett, edwin /hdqt; ascend-users at max.bungi.com Subject: RE: (ASCEND) Max 3000 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 >> ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
