Hi John, You can load 9.0.2 into your max but you will need to load one of these 2 codes: * eik.m60 (an ultra-thin load for E1 environments) * tik.m60 (an ultra-thin load for T1 environments) In the future, these codes will not be available and therefore the Maxes internal memory will not be sufficient to hold the new codes and will then require the external memory to be used. For the older modems, I have had great succees with 7.0.22 and have used it many times. You may also what to disable the modem ringback tone found under the ethernet-->mod-config menu. As far as the disconnect issues, if you are logging them to a syslog server, you can send the information to Lucent and they can parse it for you and determine were the disconnects are coming from and what is causing them. The maxes are very good RAS server but like all others, there are issues and problems. You will need to make sure that if you decide to upgrade to the later TAOS that it supports the older modems.

Anyone know what is the highest software version I can use on a max 6000 without adding more memory? I was told 9.0.2 would work without more, but reading the release note says "The standard software files you use to upgrade to TAOS 9.0.2 require additional flash memory available to the MAX6K only by way of external PCMCIA falsh card." I was ready to upgrade to 9.0.2 and then read that. We are running 6.1.7 that we actually had to downgrade to because we had the answer tone was just a long high pitch squeel. Apparently that was an issue with CH T1's and the TAOS versions 7 and up, but is apparently now fixed. Any ideas? I would like to put on some new code that works better with these newer junk modems everyone seems to have. We are seeing a ton of disconnect issues. We have max 6k's with 6.1.7, 7.0.26, and 7.2.3 and seems to be not any one specific build.
