Dunno...I just got this...what's Livingston's take on it? I also heard
the same thing from an Ascend rep that called us a couple of weeks ago...

Subject: Ascend announces special program for Livingston users

Oct. 14th, 1996 - Ascend announces the "MAX-Up" program for Network
Service Providers. The MAX-Up program allows network service providers
in the U.S. and Canada to take advantage of special NSP prices on
Ascend's MAX 4000 Wan access switch. The MAX-Up bundle includes 48
digital modems at the lowest price per port ever! In addition, Ascend
is offering "instant lease" financing for only $1,500 down and as low as
$650 per month (36 month term). Approval is simple and the MAX-Up bundle
price is tough to beat at $19,950.

Livingston users have felt the need to upgrade their Portmasters and rack
modems to an integrated solution. Ascend has filled the needs of NSP's
with an integrated solution that handles analog, ISDN, and frame relay in
a single box and has been providing these solutions for over three years.
Today, Ascend is the market share leader with over 2 million digital
ports worldwide.
