Re: (ASCEND) 4000 Series Underpowered?
Of course, but why put more PRI ports on there than it can handle? :)
(I have to admit the "plugging a bunch of hairdryers into a single power
strip" analogy is pretty good, though)
We haven't really had any serious performance problems that I know of
resulting from having 4 PRIs on our Maxen though.
I suppose that there are peak times where things might get a bit slower
but I have never had any complaints.
When is Ascend going to start a Max 4000/Max 6000 tradeout? :)
