I notice you guys are talking about Cisco Upgrades. They are always buying ports of other manufactures for credit towards purchases. Depending on the Manufacture rates per port vary. I have 100's or Cabletron and Bay Networks ports available for trade-in. I can assure you my price to you and the trade in credit from Cisco will work in your favor. Anyone looking to go that route with Cisco please contact me. At 09:04 AM 11/16/2000 -0600, you wrote:

We are currently sticking with the 3Com as the last issue of code, including the unreleased HiperArc engineering release has resolved a great majority of our problems. We only have a couple of clients with 'terminal' (pun intended) connection problems, and I think they are not upgrading their modem code because their computers come from 'reputable' manufacturers so it must be my fault, yada yada yada.
The support issues are still there though we were able to get a decent deal on the software update license. I haven't yet gotten a quote on phone support only but I hear that is supposed to be a new option available to us.

According to Cisco's site they are offering $125 per port for competitive upgrades. The 5400 looks sweet to me.
Do you have a URL for that handy? I've been searching around the Cisco site and haven't found it yet.
Also, is anyone using Ericsson Tigris gear? If so, what do you think? We need to buy a new RAS soon and will probably go with another TC with a full house of cards, since we have so much ofit already, but do want to eval other products as well.
We're evaluating an Ericsson 3-slot model right now and my feeling so far is that while I like the HARC CLI better, I could get used to the Ericsson. We have not had a connection failure with any ISDN or modem test so far, and ISDN authentication is lightning-fast.
On the downside, Ericsson doesn't have an equivalent of Total Control Manager. It does come with a more generalized MIB browser with some monitoring capability (Riverview/SNMPc), but this seems a far cry from TC in terms of the functionality it provides.
I'm kind of kicking around the idea of getting a non-TC product at this juncture partly so that we have someplace for customers to go (other than our competitors) if they have modems that don't play nice with TC.
If anybody is using Ericsson or Cisco, I'd be very happy to hear your opinion and real-world experiences with them.
