Actually, I rather like the architecture of the GRF, though I must admit to have never tried one out. I've heard some good things and they might be worth a test or two.
i like the GRF 400 i have running in NYC pretty much, except for the terrible documentation. ascend tech support tells me a new, improved manual is on the way -- it'd definitely needed. some of the stuff in the manual they shipped me is simply wrong, and i've needed to pry correct information out of their tech support organization a number of points. i also agree with the other comments about ascend's software release group; they really need to get their act together. on the other hand, the port density and the cost per port on the GRF are both quite good, and the performance is definitely there. we're running the fast ethernet card, OC3c card, and FDDI card in ours, and they all are gettingg the job done. richard -- Richard Welty rwelty () neworks net http://www.neworks.net
