For what its worth, we have almost 6000 ports of HiperDSP in our network.
We have been USRobotics/3Com customers since our inception in 1995.  Aside
from the occasional board repair, we buy NOTHING from 3Com any more. 

We don't rely on their support.  For the most part, we have relegated our
3Com gear to doing just regular plain vanilla dialup, and use other
vendor's equipment to do anything complex.

The ONLY bright point in our 3Com experience has been the service we
receive from a company in Toronto, IASL (www.iasl.com).
