Telebit from Boardwatch on HiPer cards:

SOURCE TECHNOLOGY TO DOCUMENT HIPER DSP

Source Technology, the largest supplier of 3Com remote access equipment to
Internet service providers, will document the procedures for installing 3Com's
HiPer DSP cards. Source's Open Me First is a 14-page manual that the company
ships with every unit. It details step by step what the ISP needs to do to get the unit
up and running. Source Technology claims that most ISPs who have some
experience with telecom equipment can set up a Total Control server within two to
three hours.

The company sells 3Com/US Robotics equipment only to ISPs. Source bills itself
as the "Saturn of the ISP business," after the U.S. car maker which sells its cars in a
non-traditional way. Just as Saturn's customers pay the sticker price for a car,
Source Technology's customers pay one price for 3Com equipment. There is no
haggling over price. As a result, ISPs don't need to rely on consultants who rep for
hardware vendors as a way to bill more service hours. Source's Open Me First is
meant to allow ISPs to do all the work themselves - usually in less time than a
consultant could.

HiPer DSP, 3Com's new upgradable modem card for its Total Control server,
does not install like other plug and play devices. ISPs need to configure the cards
for T-1 or PRI, flash-upgrade the net server and network management card, and
install 16 additional megabytes of DRAM on the network management card. The
new Open Me First book documents all of those procedures.

Source Technology can be reached at (888) 765-5758 or on the Web at
source-technology.com.
