What particularly do you like about the NMC? Compare it to what we offer
and tell me what we need to change.

What exactly do you need from SNMP? Is the issue being able to manage
everything from one SNMP console? If so, what if we documented how to
integrate PMconsole and our SNMP MIB2 support into an SNMP management
platform, would that do the trick?

So, are you saying that you don't need that many digital modems to handle
your customer calls, and what you need from Livingston is something that
does mostly high density PRI dial-in? If you need all the modems, then the
high density PRI that USR offers is sort of irrelevant for your dial-in
operation, right?

TIA for your feedback!
