Go through the checklist again by Christmas. I'd expect everything
except 3 (and maybe 1) to be out by then, plus maybe another item or two
that's not even on your list.
> 1) ChoiceNet -- nonexistent, promised, what, May?
> 2) RADIUS 2.0 -- waiting on docs... [to come back from the printer!]
> 3) The Livingston budget priced ISDN modem for the PC -- in PC week in

> 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.
Out in '96 (if we include December of '95) were the OR-LS, OR-HS,
OR-ST, OR-U, 5 BRI Board, PM-2e-10I with builtin BRI, a big thick
manual, and a slew of much-requested RADIUS enhancements (Idle Timers,
Session Timers, Termination Reasons).
As for racks, all our new products have the PM-25 style rack ears
instead of the 5-year old rack shelves the PM-2 uses; we listened to
customer feedback on that and improved it. If you find connectors or
any other aspect of our products not what you would like, let us know!
Send email to support@livingston.com and indicate that you're providing
feedback; we're always interested in hearing from customers about how to
improve our product.
