Re: (ASCEND) New TNT and CSMX cards

["William R. Charnock" <charnock@fastlane.net>]

I don't use the TNT for nailed connections, frame-relay, etc -- only ISDN
and analog dialup (I'll take a Cisco anyday for reliability on dedicated
access connections).  I have deleted all the call-routing profiles for the
CSMX cards related to digital calls, and the calls are being routed to the
HDLC-2 card.  The problem I am having now is the HDLC-2 card stops
accepting calls for some reason -- not sure why...
