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.

>>>For those who are counting, this is the third suit.<<< In talking by phone to a Para-legal from a law firm recently, I was told the following about another company (SIII) who also has three classaction lawsuits filed against them. Before I didn't know exactly how these things worked. He said that all three suits don't go forward, only one. Usually the one with the most shareholders and legal merit. Each firm wants shareholders who held large...very large amounts of stock.
