people are using for terminal servers. I'm looking at either a Ascend =
Max 4048 or Livingston PM3. The Ascend unit is going for $164 /port and =
the Livingston is going for $249 /port
.. Which is better?

If you have these prices right, which is doubtful, go with Ascend. I =
can't say I am familiar with Ascend box, but I can tell you little bit =
about PM-3. When we were pricing our equipment which was months ago, =
Ascend was more expensive. Maybe they droppe
d their prices?
We have had a lot of trouble with PM3-s for months, on chanelized T-1 =
(PRI or BRI is not available here). They released it months before it =
was actually ready for production environment. Few weeks ago they =
released new version of operating system 3.7.2=20
which had finaly
fixed many bugs. But it took them months
I have to say one thing though, it is a nice product now, easy to setup, =
easy to manage and easy to integrate with Emerald Radius suite. You may =
want to check with them if they printed the manuals for PM3 now, in the =
time we ordered it, our units came=20
with manuals for
PM-2.s
It is also good idea to subscribe to both manufacturers mailing lists =
for awhile and see what kind of questions and troubles people have. That =
can give you some ideas what kind of trouble you may get in to with any =
of those products.
Good luck.
