Absolutely, IMO, the 1800 will never be stable in large deployed shops,I'm
at the end of my rope on this one. I've already placed a call into
Cisco to see what type of buy-back program they have for 1800's. However,
being that I have had such a long love/hate relationship with Ascend I
have decided to give the new 6000 a crack. Apparently they are in the
mysts of developing a ISDN U interface card for the 6000.
Considering almost all the problems I run into seem to be lack of resource
issues then just maybe the 6000 w/ ISDN U cards will work in our
environment. So I'll be looking at one very soon.
If it doesn't work, then I move on to another solution.
I'll keep ya posted.
