Re: (ASCEND) Testing Performance of Ascend P-130 vs Cisco 2503

I have a customer in south Texas that is using the P-130 for a full T1. He
says that it holds up really well, never needs any kind of maintenance. He
was using a 2501 before this, and the command line interface(which i love)
was too much for him to mess with, so he went with the ascend since he has
pretty little menu's he can work with. So it will definatley hold the load
of a T1, but if you ask me, I would definately go 2500 series...

Ascend needs to stick to access servers, and leave the routers to Cisco. 

Just my opinion.
