Re: (ASCEND) MAX 4004 and 7.0.4

[Anthony Chatman <anthony@edge.net>]

So far so good with our maxes. We have upgraded all our maxes except 1
max with the 7.0.4, they have been up between 2 and 3 days, no problems
yet. Our tech support deptartment has encountered less calls as a result
of this upgrade, however I am still skeptical as if this was a possible
solution to us. It looks like the maxes are keeping more memory then
they did with 6.24, but yet again I think the jury is still out on it.
