Re: (ASCEND) 6.0.0 for the MAX family
Joe,
I asked the same question earlier - then solved it myself.
You need to download both the rtik.m40 and ftik.m40 files. Read carefully
in the .ps or .pdf docs about loading extended loads. (Pages 21 and 22 in
the .pdf)
Follow those instructions to the letter, don't let the double restarts
between each load panic you and all will be ok. I just did it to a Max4004
and it works. Already tested the Windows 95 Multi-Link modem feature. Had
a 33.6 and a K56flex paired together for connect rates of 79,000+
downloading compressed files at 7K+ per second. Dual K56flex units should
get close to 100,000 BPS.
