Issues</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Can anyone relate?<BR><BR>We just received our order for a
MCS-7825-I1-IPC server and Call<BR>Manager 4.1.3 software bundle to go with
it. The OS version that was<BR>shipped with the CCM software is version
2000.2.7a which is not<BR>compatible with the MCS-7825-I1-IPC server. I need
version 2000.4.1 or<BR>later.<BR><BR>I am beginning to hate Cisco over
software incompatibility issues. I<BR>have not had one install this year where
I did not have<BR>incompatibility issues with software/hardware or software
versions.<BR>TAC engineers can not send out media or make it available
for<BR>download. They just forward me to the PUT tool. The PUT tool is
no<BR>help, because I do not have a SASU contract yet. Our vendor can't
help<BR>because they cannot get the OS version individually.<BR><BR>I keep
hearing that things will get better with ver 5.0 …. But I do<BR>not seeing a
light at the end of this long tunnel.<BR><BR>There are too many IPT vendors
for Cisco to make things this<BR>complicated. Nortel, Avaya, Mitel ... the
list goes on. Open source<BR>IPT is building steam. Even Microsoft has
anounced an interest. I<BR>think Cisco could be the next SUN if they do not
change their<BR>practices. I think they could be giving software away just to
sell<BR>hardware. Don't get me wrong, I think Cisco's IPT product is the
best<BR>but so is Solaris.<BR><BR>- Why does Cisco not allow downloads for the
full OS versions for IPT?<BR>- Why is it impossible to get a demo for CCM
5.0?<BR>- Why is the Compatability matrix such a
mess?<BR><BR>--<BR>Ding<BR><BR>"I feel more like I do now than I did a while
