We finally descided to switch to Cisco. For the port density we need (2 PRIs at most + a few frame T1s) it just made more sense to replace our (2 year old) MAX 6000 routers with the 3660s. They aren't as simple to configure, but we haven't had any problems with the vendor telling us that a problem we have is actually a new software feature (the 195 list if you need to ask...) We even looked at a low end CVX. While it would be nice to have something that can handle that many calls, it core dumped every time I changed the terminal server config with someone online. And we would have had to have a seperate router to handle the frame relay T1s. I didn't enjoy configuring the thing either. At least the Ascend routers (before the TNT) had a menu to help you navigate the configuration. -- Steve Haavik Sailor Operations Center http://www.sailor.lib.md.us shaavik at soc.lib.md.us Office: 410-396-5551 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com Archives: http://www.nexial.com/mailinglists/
