TNT sw is completely different from MAX sw (notice the reference to 5.0Ap20
and MAX in the subject line and p16 in the quoted message)
We stopped even trying to use OSPF on our Maxen eons ago since our clients
got tired of them rebooting a few times a day, or at best, a few times a week.
The only answer we could ever get out of Ascend was "OSPF works fine",
after first insulting my intelligence with things like "You're having
problems running OSPF? Oh, you're probably not using the tbi.m40 load.
You need to be using it to run OSPF. Switch to the tbi.m40 load and it'll
work fine." DUH!
Hmmmm.... I guess they must have meant "OSPF works fine as an automatic
rebooting feature"
And how do you like where manual says something like: "when you set
RunOSPF=Yes and save the configuration, the Messages display says Ethernet
Up. Your MAX is now operating as an OSPF router." BUT you actually need
to REBOOT it in order for it to start (or to stop OSPF!)
