I know what they told me. Our V23 had problems that they wouldn't want to see released but they wouldn't elaborate - as they won't.

But I do understand what it was. The SH2 behaved very well and was highly stable in router mode for customers (such as I) attached to a Cisco CMTS. But customers on the trial attached to the Motorola CMTS were having problems akin to those experienced by the same people in the VMNG300 days. (The problem was known as the TEK event problem which caused the modem to reset).

V26 is supposed to cure this and by all accounts that I can see on the trials forum it has.

I suspect that VM had to release the flaky V19 because they were running out of SH1s (I don't know that officially) and peops were generally nervous that would receive the discredited SH1. Sort of thing.

Anyway the V26 SH2 is a credible get-you-going device in router mode. I still hold to the modem mode mantra, of course.
