Is anyone successfuly using one of these? I've got one in the labs here, and have found some interesting problems. Ascend engineers are hot on the problems, but I was wondering if anyone else has any experience.

Yes, our network is now cisco free! We have been using the GRF1600s for several months in our network. We have found a few problems, but Ascend has been VERY fast to fix them. So far they blow away the Cisco solution we were using.

Our current problems seem to be related to buffer overruns on the ATM/Q card.

We have not used the ATM/Q card a lot, but I am sure Ascend can fix any problem you may have. We are using cascade 900s as backbone switches into the GRF 1600s via HSSI. We plan to move this to OC3 as soon as we finish testing.
