The info came from Lucent over the phone, probably in an effort to get me to start selling their new stuff. But hey, thats GREAT that people are still using them AND as I mentioned earlier, if its still on their ftp site, it must still be legal to get and use. So I apologize if I gave some bad info, but I was relaying what I was "officially" told by Lucent not more than 1 year ago. We dont get along that well anymore especially since they spun off Avaya and Avaya owes me some source code per a binding contract with Lucent that they refuse to give me. (another story) I agree, once you get one working, leave it alone and it should keep working. They are not for the faint hearted tho... there's a lot more support for other boxen like the pm3's. And they are much easier to configure IMHO, and lots more support. Too bad there isnt a maxboxes.com out there like portmasters.com ;-) I seriously considered doing it too but i like the pms a lot better. A couple folks posted directly to me (from this list) that they support the max 4xxx and 6xxx so there ARE some on the list, so try to find them and see what you can do to get some help getting them up and running. BTW, I personally have some pdf's for the Max 2000 and Max 1800, which I understand are RARE? ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ Jake Messinger, VP. ph:713-772-6690 Visit: portmasters.com AMS, Inc. fx:713-774-3498 advmed.com 8300 Bissonnet #400 jake at jakes.org profjake.com Houston, Texas 77074 http://jakes.org homestarrunner.com ICQ# 4403734 YAHOO: prof_jake AIM: profjake MSN: jake at jakes.org Adjunct Professor University of Houston, CBA jake at uh.edu ~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Montgomery" <guido at ipa.net> To: "Jake Messinger" <jake at portmasters.com> Cc: "Brandon Shiers" <brandons at wyoming.com>; "brian haynes" <eternal at jyhad.com>; <rte-ascend at lists.real-time.com> Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 2:36 PM Subject: Re: [Ascend] Where can I find software features / upgradesfor MAX-6000/ MAX-4000 > Yeah, 9.0.9 was the last free release.
