Once upon a time Frank Erf shaped the electrons to say...
>BRI compatible with Ascend Pipeline and will they support the dynamic
>allocation/deallocation of the second B channel for burst data transfer?

We will support MP (RFC 1717) - multilink-PPP, which is what most support.
We will *NOT* support MP+ - Ascend's proprietary protocol. We consider it
to have serious darwbacks over MP, and it is not supported by the industry -
despite Ascend's claims.

Ascend will also do standard MP, so we should interoperate ok.

>P.S. - Any firm dates for these babies yet?

A lot will be on the Web Monday morning (I'm going to be doing that
tonight) - I believe 5-BRI cards November, the ISDN Office Router and
ISA card - December.
