All of our dial-in lines are in the same 200-pair bundle that we paid for
back to the CO (4 blocks away). My customer presented me with a list of
my IP Addresses with ping times, and the ping times are definitely better
on the ten lines going in to the portmaster with only 10 ports. Now, it
*is* the newest portmaster. Has Livingston made any hardware
improvements/changes in the last couple of years? If anyone at
Livingston is reading, I'd like the 'official' word - is this a known
problem? Are there hardware differences in today's PM2E versus a unit
1-2 years old? Enquiring minds want to know.
