<<as I understand it, Total Control is low-density while MAX TNT is high-density. Which is why COMS will be hurt in remote access for at least the first 6 months of '98. >> That's the old story, but 3Com released high density modem boards for the Total Control Hub in August or September of this year. Each board can terminate 24 calls. Each Total Control Hub ever sold can hold 14 boards, for a maximum of 288 calls per Hub. One MAX TNT can terminate 192 analog calls (pretty sure that's the number), so a single MAX TNT's density is actually less than a single Total Control Hub's density. Three TNTs can be linked together under a single management system. The Cisco AS5300 can terminate 96 analog calls. Even though Cisco's press releases say "up to 120", thats only correct in Europe where a U.S. T1 line (capable of 24 analog calls) is called an E1 line capable of 30 calls. AS5300 has capacity for 4 T1/E1 connections, so it can terminate 96US/120European calls.
