What is the adavantage of the MAXen in the future ?
The old Ascend products now are retired by Lucent, even if there was no technical need for. It is or was a marketing strategy (or an internal financial aspect) to get rid of the support for the next years. So whatīs the reason to run Ascend MAXen now and in the future ?
Carriers and large organisations needs in 2004/2005 are solved with :

Using the MAX as a modem pool or modem farm
There is one very helpful and money saving application / opportunity, using a MAX with E1 or T1 and some digital modem boards for mass fax service or for a modem farm. We did this within a commercial environment and it did work really fine and reliable.
