I haven't actually bought any in several years. We have an existing base of equipment, and redeploy them as necessary. In my experiance the MAX is a great unit. Bullet proof, highly reliable. I described it to someone earlier today as "fire and forget" :) Since there's no OS upgrades legally available, I guess I'll just run on what I've got - it works fine, I'd just like to be able to puff up my chest and crow "V.92 support!" :) It's been a while since we bought any MAX units, but when we were, it was something like $250 for a 40xx - not a bad price for a highly reliable 48 port unit. I might actually be interested in your chassis (as long as it works). I've got a chassis that has two fried T1 ports on it - could pull the modems, stuff 'em in that chassis and have a 4 port unit back :) If anyone on this list has any information regarding OS code for these, I'd appreciate whatever information you could give me. Feel free to privately mail if you feel it is more appropriate. - Nick On 1/26/06, Jake Messinger <jake at portmasters.com> wrote: > Wow, you actually BOUGHT some? > I couldnt sell a max 6000 on eBay even for $10 a year ago. > I think I still have it (no modem cards), if you want to pay me for the > shipping + $10. > Or maybe I threw it away, I will have to go check.
