FrameRelay, x2, v.90, ISDN, xDSL, VOIP all out of the same chassis?
Sounds like a few more than the MAX to me...

Yes, total management can be performed via telnet, but I still do not know
how on a MAX to view the decode d channel information. I can get that via
SNMP, but I guess that level of management is more than you are looking
for. Or I can view in realtime the actual modem speed as it trains up and
down, but that would not be useful either I guess. For that matter it
might not be useful to have SNMP managemet, then why does Ascend keep
trying on the TNT?
