Re: (ASCEND) More K56Cards failures...
I've had the same problem...

Ditto.

Wow... pretty much everything is ditto... do you feel a little outraged that
the Maxes have worked for a little over a year and then just died?
Personally, since I have more (approx. 10 4004s, and about 35 4048s), I'm
looking for an alternative... so far, the PM3 is solid. Too bad, the Max is
a sweet machine, but until the QoS issues are resolved, it's hard to justify
buying them. Ascend, do you really care? If not, fine, but we've dedicated
our company on your product and it'd be nice to know that you did. Just
wondering.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. - for informational purposes, out of 4 original max 4004s, all 4 have
gone bad. That's a 100% failure rate.
