My experince with them verifies this. The "Merit folks evaluated them some time back and decided not to use them "because they were one of the worst for interoperability. But WBs seems "to work great. " Thats odd - the V.32 on the T3000 is on the same platform as the WB. ">When it does work, I get better throughput by using 2400bps. Go figure. " "This is more likely congestion in the Merit SCP/PCP connections. Until "yesterday we were on an SCP, and on bad days got horrid horrid "throughput going through them. I get the distinct impression that "Merit would like to trash all the SCP/PCPs, but until the individual "affiliates (like us :-)) give them up, they're stuck. " "What am I, the Merit apologist? :-) Those people who have SCP paid $2500 or more for them and had to do some heavy justifing to their bosses (Dept. heads, budget people etc). Now, how do you go to your boss and ask him for $20,000 (cost of a CISCO router) to replace something thats only a few years old. What is Merit recommending that the SCP's be replaces WITH??
