Re: (ASCEND) New P75:s available in Sweden?
Hi,
Sorry for the need to bother you and the list regarding this matter again,
but there are still no new P75:s (Version 2 etc) available in my country
(Sweden, located in the norden part of Europe), and we have no specific
information on why!
I have had several discutions whith the major distributors (that receives
P75 shipments directly from Ascend, before distributing them to retailers
etc). They have on several occations had discussions with Ascend, and the
current status seems to be:
There are "no new P75:s available for Europe" at this time. They will
probably be available late Q1 or early Q2 1998.
I have not been informed why the availability of the new P75:s are postponed
time after time (Ascend Sweden did say they should be available late
October 1997), but I can guess:
* There are some hardware/software problem regarding "Euro ISDN" or the
CLID support on the POTS ports (POTS CLID works differently in
many countries).
* Problems with "approval proceses" etc in Europe!
I don't know if I can trust Ascends "International Product Certificates"
page for Europe (http://www.ascend.com/882.html#Sweden). It lists the
Pipeline 15 as "Certified and Available" for Sweden, but it's certainly
*not* available today through Ascends Swedish distributors!
Regarding P75:s, it's of course impossible to tell if the Certificates
regards the new or the old one :-( !
* Production problems..
Our "ISDN telecomuting project" have waited for the new P75:s since
the end of October 1997, and we are still waiting... And of course, our
customers are *NOT* very happy with our progress!!
The information we have received are pretty vague, and we would appreciate
any information regarding the availability of the new P75:s in Sweden
and the rest of Europe (have anyone got them?).
By the way, OLD P75:s with a switch, currently sold in Sweden have
S/N begining whith 750xxxx!
Regards Thomas
