I almost forgot about those netedge boxes, seems the one we had in DC was about as reliable as a microwave with tin foil in it. I cant remember how many times it or a card had been replaced.
There was a general belief that MFS only had one spare on each coast. When they swapped it in for a faulty box the one they pulled out became the "new" spare :-)
I remember that certain hardware revs on the NetWedges would corrupt certain byte patters by swapping bits a certain way. --Sam
