Wayne, I also got that spiel from 3com/Source "Just market it to your customers and make more $" LOL... Ok and we need to raise our prices in a downturn :). Our competitors are deploying v.92 via Patton and Cisco (and they aren't raising prices). So what's our advantage to enable us to make more $? Where are we going to make more money? Now that's an advantage! :\ -- Edgar D.

Otherwise, we are perfectly happy with our current code and wouldn't need ANY contracts. -Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Taylor" <ed@1st.net> To: "'WayneG'" <WayneG@uplogon.com> Cc: <usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 12:37 PM Subject: RE: [USR-TC] v.92... 3com's ripoff/joke plan
Wayne,
I was told by Thomas himself... and even Paul has confirmed what I stated. It is not 700 a chassis unless you only have 2 DSP's in it.
It costs approx $2700 per chassis. (It is a per port cost). It is another slight of hand by 3com... (watch yourself)

Actually that's incorrect. It will only cost the price of a software-only service contract for a base chassis, which is around $650-$700. I find this to be a reasonable cost, considering the glut of used TC equipment (super low cost) available.

Yes you would need to pay an extra $2700 for the v.92 Software update.
It is calculated per port...
It's a another 3com classic ripoff.
