Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4004 and 7.0.4

[Ken Rea <wildcat@pcez.com>]

Did Ascend technical support give some idea of when they would have this
fixed?  And since 7.0.4 fixed some issues with Ethernet cards on the TNT
in regards to version 7.0.3, would it be safe to assume to that version
7.0.3 would be fine to run on a 4048?

Thanks,
