I once had a circuit go down because the fiber connector wasn't crimped on correctly, and the fiber pulled out of the connector while a tech was working in the cable tray nearby. After we opened a ticket about the issue, said tech "fixed" it by shoving the fiber back into the connector by hand, and walking away. Needless to say it went down again the next day. Names withheld to protect the guilty and keep them from raising my prices for heckling them in public, but the moral of the story is never underestimate the laziness or stupidity of the cable monkeys some of these places hire and let touch your routers. :)
In their defense, that was clearly the fastest way to fix it. :) Just not a very long term solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
