im wondering sometimes if its the luck of the draw or the skill or the
operators/admins when it comes to modems and whatever... pry both...
i use $127 modems or whatever the current price is. maxtech/gvc
if i add it up it comes out to $226 a port for pm2e30 and 30 modems and
cables.....
if i slap em in a maxtech rack it adds $66 a port for 32 port rack...
isdn is a different story though...
tell ya what... ill be happy to sell stuff to anyone paying $650 a port...
ask your "sales rep" if i can borrow his/her "PORSHE" for the weekend
again... ;-) bwahhhhh!
