Re: (ASCEND) The comparison of 4048 to PM3


 Correct, Vendor toss in these testing reports all the time, You must
remember , No network is the same, Even these perfect evaluation networks
that these tests are run on are quite different from yours and mine, Want
to know who the best is for your network, 

 Call Lucent Eval a PM3, Call Ascend Eval a 4048 , Call Shiva order their
 PC, Call Bay and Eval their 5399.

 Then make your own decision.
