My personal opinion as an engineer is that is is not needed. >>Yes, I think we should do BACP too. But I think it is wasteful for most >>applications. >...YES. Are you running for Governor or something ;) ? My opinion as a *realist* is that customers still shop with checklists and they are looking for BACP. And from a business perspective I think we need to do it to interoperate. Like it or not, the Pipeline IS a dominant SOHO box and people want to dial into PortMasters on the headend. We'll still work on getting them to buy ORs instead of course. ;-) -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <<A HREF="http://www.livingston.com/">http://www.livingston.com/</A>> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08831.html">Re: (ASCEND) 32HDLC card</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08829.html">(ASCEND) P75 hash codes?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg08817.html">Re: (ASCEND) Inter operability & BACP,DBA,BOD et. al.
