Butch: This probably is off-topic, as it's not really related to FreeBSD. With that said, I'd like to say that we've had nothing but the best of luck with Ascend products. We've had a 4004 since last January, and the total downtime on it has been about 45 minutes while upgrading from analog to digital modems. I can't speak for the 4048, but Ascend's overheating problems seem to have gone down quite a bit since the advent of digital modems. Since I've used neither, I can't comment on the Cisco or the Livingston. If you haven't seen it yet, http://www.k56flex.com seems to have some fairly decent informaion on the subject.
