First guess: your Linux syslogd is not started with option -r and thus
takes no network messages at all. For some odd reason developers of
syslogd changed the behavior in an incompatible way and added the option
to allow syslogd to acept network messages instead of adding an option
to deny it. Anyway, we have to live with it.
Second guess: your /etc/syslog.conf doesn't log the facility and level
the Ascend logs to, or specifies files which do not exist.
BTW, if you want to log to NT, watch out for SL4NT (Altavista etc.) - this
is the best implementation I've found so far.
