I'm not using the new HyperDSP model here, still got the old quad modem
setup, but in regards to your question about needing the $2K a year service
option... after 90 days you wont be able to call tech support or download
new code if you don't have it! I found this out the hard way, wasn't even
mentioned when I bought my chassis last year, but now I have a problem with
the second channel of 128K ISDN connections disconnecting at the programmed
idleout time even if the channel is not idle! And guess what, I need to
purchase a service contract to talk to tech support! I even got my sales
rep to conference in an engineer, and he confirmed that my equipment was
configured properly, but I still can't call tech support direct regarding
the issue, I have to go through the sales rep each time I call to see if
they've figured it out yet!

I guess if the business depends on this box, you'd probably want to have the
service agreement, otherwise you can't get advance replacement parts... I
don't know about you, but I can't send the box in and wait for it to be
repaired and sent back to me!
