If you'll recall, Ascend did not then (and still has not) given 6.0 
beta test sites any email address to send reports of problems. 
I never received any acknowlegement of the messages I sent
to <support@ascend.com> other than "we have received your message",
nor have they ever contacted me to 
"discuss the progress of alpha or beta testing".

so I just stopped bothering, I can't trust this beta code
for customer access boxes, so if none of my testing ever influences
Ascend engineering, why should I continue to do it?

  2. Test of Products and Reporting to Ascend. During the Test Period, 
  Tester agrees to test the Products for ease of use, [...]
  (i) contact Ascend's Core Switching Systems Division 
  Technical Assistance Center (TAC) if Tester should experience 
  any problems with the Products, and (ii) schedule a mutually agreeable 
  weekly time during which Ascend may contact the appropriate employee of 
  Tester to discuss the progress of alpha or beta testing. [...]
