We went to the Ascend Max 4004 3 months ago.  It has worked flawlessly!  
Ascend's support has been incredible.  We just dumped an Annex III 64
port
term. server for it  - BayLogics support policies suck - our biggest
reason
for dumping it.  The ascend is fast, effecicient, and can do all the
things
us ISP's need out of the freely available Radius database - limit
simultaneous
dialins, limit who can use ISDN vs. analog, etc., etc.  They're not
cheap,
but so far we've loved ours!
