We have Xpeed cards in service in various Windows boxes and they have proven reliable. However, our experience is that once you put hardware in a customer's machine you have blurred the lines of responsibility sufficient that the customer will expect you to fix anything that ever goes wrong with their machine. In future, we'll stick to external bridges, with the possible exception of NT boxes acting as routers, as the admins tend to be somewhat more clueful. >I've heared that both the Max20 and the DSL TNT are to be sliced >and replaced by the Stinger. Piece of crap or fact? The Stinger may replace the DSL TNT as they're similarly sized, but not the Max 20, which is much smaller. Lucent has no other box for the MDU application. -- Peter Lalor Infoasis plalor at infoasis.com http://www.infoasis.com/ "Where's my burrito?" -- Homer ++ 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>
