How do you figure that? What features do you think are "missing" on the
Max that the USR has?

I'm not fishing for a debate to defend one product vs the other -
just merely looking for 'impressions/opinions' of the MAX vs the USR -

is port density the most important or only issue here?
I had not heard about the TNT ??
what about the redundant power and hot-swap -
don't these things ever fail?
how do you work on them without taking the whole chassis down?

Actually, the Max4004 supports six 12-port modem cards, for a total
of 72 modems.

The Max also includes an optional redundant power supply, although
it requires a chassis that is twice the height of the standard chassis.

See http:\\www.ascend.com for info on the Max TNT, which supports
something like 288 modem ports in a chassis only 14 inches high!
Just announced.
