Have 4 PRIs installed on the MAX, 6 8-Modem cards installed.  Handles 2
PRIs worth of modems and 2 PRIs worth of ISDN.

It's not particularly hot, it is in a rack with 3 other MAXen spaced
several inches apart.  Environment in the room is controlled to about 65
or so (A/C is always on).

Agreed.  I CC'ed support@ascend.com when I sent this message to the list
and have a ticket number for it.  It's usually about 1 week for me to hear
back from them about any problems.

The serial number on this is 5290615, which is a VERY early MAX (so I
hear) which concerned me.


Yesterday I did an fsave and nvramclear and have not had problems since.
Could be related?
