1) ChoiceNet -- nonexistent, promised, what, May?
2) RADIUS 2.0 -- waiting on docs...
3) The Livingston budget priced ISDN modem for the PC -- in PC week in
December '95? due in March or so? Something like that.
4) PM3's. Has anybody actually seen one? Not really fair given short
notice, but given past track record, seems justifiable to include it.
5) OSPF -- I have mail from a Livingston VP promising this in '95 --
somehow I doubt '96.
6) Some low-end BRI stuff. Delivered. WOrks nicely.
7) OR-xx stuff. Seems OK on the one that I've set up.
I'm pretty happy with what I have Livingston-wise, but I kind of bet the
farm on Livingston product, and the what appears to be ever increasing
vaporware has me a bit concerned.
Heck, I was an all livingston shop until a while ago, when numerous
problems with the IRX showed up, and I had no choice but to move to
another router vendor. (Have several IRX's for sale now... Want one?)
I can see this potential problem arising with T1/PRI issues with the PM3.
Will it actually appear in usable form this year? Or do I have to bite
the bullet and buy Ascend? Because whatever I do, I ain't switching back,
and I really, really, really want to buy Livingston.
I suppose I could point out a few other problems, like take the cables for
the PM25, the connector that goes on the PM didn't even have the screws
molded in straight, and so on the back of my PM, you can only screw in one
side or the other, because the cable screw heads off to parts unknown.
Then one of them had the plastic head just spinning on the screw so it was
near impossible to thumb-tighten.
Then one could point out the junior-high shop project mounting racks for
the PM2E-10-30 line, with what can only be described as a pathetic racking
scheme. I have piles of these sitting around too if you want some, plain
rack shelves work better.
But the rack for the PM25 works fine.
Oh well, if I don't vent once a year, then I have to see a therapist.
