RE: (ASCEND) Max 1800 Question and Max 200 Problems



http://www.ascend.com/653.html

But to paraphrase the Salespitch...Yes you can accept analog calls"

"Integrated high-speed Series56 Digital Modems provide full access to
analog modem callers that dial into the MAX 1800 over the ISDN BRI
digital access lines. The MAX 1800 uses the 8-port or 16-port Digital
Modem module to ensure reliability and eliminate the noise, downtime and
operating costs that can be present with stand-alone analog modem
technology. 

"8-port and 16-port V.34-and K56flex-compatible digital modem expansion
module, V.42bis data compression

"K56flex, V.34, V.FC, V.32bis, V.32, V.22, V.22bis, V.21, Bell 212A and
Bell 103 compatible 

"MNP and MNP10-EC (error correction) for cellular connections 

"Group 3 fax support with MAXDial software 

Remote downloadable modem firmware"
