AHAHHA love Ascends marketing...from their web page today...

'...48 or 60 concurrent access channels that may be comprised of V.34 or
56 Kbps analog, 56/64 Kbps Frame Relay, or ISDN BRI.'

How will the sales rep explain that PRI can't do 48 lines/channels?
Another question on my mind, is their Series56 already with working
K56Flex code?

'Extensive Security Features
The MAX 4048 and 4060 support a broad range of security options.
Ascend's industry-leading support of Remote Authentication Dial-In
Services (RADIUS) is standard with every MAX 4048 and 4060, greatly
simplifying the management of large-scale remote access applications.'

Hey MZ, what is with the copyright fair-use etc on RADIUS, don't they need
to credit Livingston with the RADIUS name? Love it when a competitor
pushes for a Livingston offering aka RADIUS...

Oh, well... I still haven't gotten a reply regarding my listing on Ascends
page for my K56Flex equipment. *shrug* guess they want to ignore me or
something... ANYONE FROM ASCEND WANNA COMMENT?!?

Just a thought.
