Wait, you mean to say that the normal mode for TNT's was it *not* to reboot and crash all the time? :) Ascend tech support's stock answer to any issue was either 1) Upgrade the code 2) Oh, you already tried that? downgrade the code! :) And the company that managed to put out a release to 'fix a spelling error' that managed to completely break all IP routing? :) (Yes, I loved the PM2/PM3's) Ken On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 7:44 AM, <Vinny_Abello () dell com> wrote:
Dell - Internal Use - Confidential I personally never ran the Ascend gear (outside of a setting up a customer's Ascend Superpipe 95 dual ISDN router one time), but I heard that the TNT gear doubled as space heaters. I remember one facility we were in that had a catastrophic cooling failure and the temperatures went to insane levels. Our PM3's happily kept running and never had an issue where I heard every TNT box in the facility kept rebooting and crashing. -Vinny -----Original Message----- From: Nick Hilliard [mailto:nick () foobar org] Sent: Monday, December 16, 2013 4:22 PM To: Paul Stewart Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: do ISPs keep track of end-user IP changes within thier network?

Then we moved to Ascend TNT Max stuff - that was very exciting back then!"Exciting" was just the word for Ascends. In the mid 90s, I cured lots of this excitement by putting my ascends on a socket timer which physically rebooted them a couple of times daily. The support load dropped off substantially due to that.
