Ok, We now have a voice, we need to get together and show 3com that there "really is a market for software on quad modem cards". My contact needs to know how many of us want/need the v.92 code on quad modems cards. If you wish I can gather this info and present it to 3com. I need to know how many ports of quad modem cards you have ? I need to know by Friday. I certify that any info I receive from you will only be used for the purpose of showing 3com that we need support in v.92 code. Below you will find the email that I receive from 3com. Mark Ross California City Internet Inc. Mark, I am working internally to try and resolve the V.92 and Quad card issue that we discussed yesterday. So far I do not have any final answer to offer you. Preliminary, from a hardware/software technical perspective it does not look as though the quads have the capability to support the V.92 software. I am trying to find a solution that may require an upgrade to the newer card sets. I do not yet have the details on the logistics and or costs however It might help my efforts if you could tell me how many chassis and or ports your user community has in place. I know about your specific configuration at CCIS however the more ports that need this type of solution, the more likely that we can offer a packaged solution to you and your respective user group. Please let me know via email and I will continue my efforts. mark ross wrote:
Hi all, Guess what ???
I got a call from 3com this morning ! Mr. Alex Lopez. It sounds like he is truly concerned about our problem with the v92 code on quad modems. He said "I will run it by the product managers and let you know". He also mentioned that a upgrade might be possible if they were unable to support the quads. The amazing thing is that I did not include my phone number in my email ( They took the time and effort to look it up ). I should know something within a day or two and will let you know what happens

Hi all, I just sent mine in....
Sirs, I am writing to let you know that we have been supporters of the USR/3com TC 1000 RAS servers for many years and we have quite a few of your products in our pop's.
We are not a large ISP (our dialup subscriber base is about 2,000) so we don't really have any need to upgrade to the newest high density RAS servers. The quad modem cards have performed very well in the past and our customers have been very happy with them.
Our concern is that we are not seeing any support for v.92 updates for the quad modem cards (We would be happy to pay for this support). Please reconsider your decision to support the newer protocols on the quad modem card..
Thank You
Mark Ross California City Internet Inc.
