Gary, you got it right. 50,000 modem ports is no big deal. Now if it were 50,000 MAX TNTs we'd have something to cheer about.

I'm pretty sure the per port cost is now under $100 Ouch! I thought it was still in the high 200's atleast

<<Marcel, this is too high. This announcement was for 50,000 modems which I believe means 50,000 ports. I'm pretty sure the per port cost is now under $100, giving a total sale value of < $5,000,000. >> You think this is just ports without the boxes they fit into? I don't Look at the wording: "Most of the MAX TNTs will be deployed in large metropolitan areas where competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) continue to provide relatively easy access to circuits for PSINet's large ISDN modem banks."
