We have been trying to get decent units from Ascend.
Everything we get from them has some kind of hardware problem (ethernet wise) that flakes out after about 7 days uptime.
Email me if you want more specifics.
Unfortunately, that's not suprising from Ascend. William S. Duncanson caesar@starkreality.com Artificial Intelligence stands no chance against Natural Stupidity.

Yes it is, Ascned is good at working with customers. We had what we thought was a problem with a card. They had a new one to us in 4 hours, even though it turned out to be our problem with a config error. We are using them at all the NAPs and they are stable. Several providers have started to deploy them in their networks. Why don't you look at the box before you get in Ascends case.

Uhh, I've never had any hardware problems with Ascend and I've been using their kit for about 3 years now. The only time I had a dead box was because of a power overload and Ascend shipped me one out from Calif to the UK within the week. Maybe what you're connecting to the Ascend is borked?
