I'm not sure, but I believe support for the 4/1ether-card and 192hdlc-card was dropped in 8.0. I suggest checking the release notes to make sure the other cards are still supported. I do seem to remember some modem cards being dropped at some point too. You'll also want to know what size flash and dram cards it comes with. 9.0 requires 32 megs of flash and I think it's required 32 megs of dram since 7.0. -- Steve Haavik Sailor Operations Center shaavik at soc.lib.md.us Office: 410-396-5551 Cell: 443-829-1532 Pager: 443-829-1532 or 4438291532 at page.nextel.com or pshaavik at soc.lib.md.us ++ 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>
