Jason, About a year ago I heard a rumor that a pretty good sized batch of Ascend P50s made it out of the factory with the same MAC address. Of course, this is semi-OK if they all go to seperate sites, but the Max 1800 was not in widespread use at that time, so the only option for doing dedicated ISDN BRI <-> BRI was to have a rack full of P50s. You can imagine what fun the poor guy that had to figure that one out went through before he figured out the real problem, called Ascend, and explained to them how ARP works...

I've been rather upset with Ascend over their lack of reaction to the bug in the Pipe 150 that had it publishing ARP statments for every ip address that went by its ethernet interface. Have you found their other products to be better supported and safer to fire and forget? Jason Weisberger Chief Technology Officer SoftAware, Inc. - 310/305-0275
