I like:
- Upgrading of ALL components
- Nearly everything visible, about Linestatus and onlineconnections
- Easy setup of all components
- Open more than only one chassis (depending on local RAM)
- Autoresponce (Means that the NMC acts on some traps without needing
connectivity to any other device outside the chassis)
- Chassis awareness
- Performancemonitoring while connected
to have only some...

You learn to love the feature after needing them. Some of the USR features I
thought "What to hell is this good for?", but then I had a single problem, and I
love to be able to see nearly everything. Download the MIB from there
FTP-server, and look what is availible in there.
(Your programmers will hate you! :-))

This time, the users will use MOSTLY (depending on the application)
analog-lines. But if your costumers switch over the months/years to ISDN and you
business is growing, you put out 2 Quadcards out of the TC-Chassis, and put in
one PRI/Netserver set, and voila: 8 analogports missing, but 60 digital more....
You are welcome,
