Number of ports weren't mentioned. Said the new NMC would support up to 720 ports. At 02:41 PM 3/7/02 -0500, Ed Taylor wrote:
That is total cost for a meek 48 ports... NOT a FULL chassis.

I just received the word today from my support people what it would take to upgrade to v.92. I bought my chassis in February, 1999.
1. Need to send the current ARC in for memory upgrade to 128. Memory needs to be soldered in. Cost - $750. Will give me a loaner ARC for a $2500 deposit.
2. Need to upgrade (replace) the 486 NMC to Pentium. Cost - $2,500.
3. Newest software version (I already downloaded it from my current support plan).
Total cost to upgrade: $3,250.

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.
