3COM strikes another win, from Internet Week, comparing four remote access servers (a very long article) , Ascend not up to task : **************************************************************** "56K: Still Dragging Its Feet?" November 03, 1997, Issue: 688 SIDEBAR: 3Com And x2 Serve Up A Winner** When you start implementing remote access servers in a corporate environment, you need high port counts and fault tolerance, as well as rock-solid performance. You get all that and more with 3Com's Total Control Remote Access Concentrator. The Total Control chassis put up some of the best performance numbers of the group and met or exceeded all of our other criteria. We found 3Com's x2 technology quite adept at handling our test files and line noise. And with one of the largest installed bases in the world, the x2 technology's instant compatibility with millions of U.S. Robotics modems is guaranteed. An honorable mention goes to Multi-Tech's CommPlete Communications Server. CommPlete shows what it takes to make it in the corporate world with great fault tolerance and expandability. If CommPlete's performance was closer to the other servers, it may have moved into the top spot. We'll have to see how the product fares once it's released in its final version. techweb.com
