- At the ISP I work at, we have 2 USR Total Control Racks and are
- about to get 6 more. They've worked so good it's incredible. After
- putting them online, we have had far fewer calls about disconnects, RNA's,
- or trash connects. We had a few probs at first, the power supply on one
- gave out, but it has two, so we just hot-swapped it with a new one from
- USR. We just upgraded the firmware to support 33.6, which was a quick
- download from USR. USR is even sending a tech out with the tcr's to
- help install them! We're going to see if he'll buy us all beer and
- make USR pay for it. If so, USR is a winner in my book.
