Re: (ASCEND) way to get into MAX

    We use a "test" connection which uses tcp-clear and telnets to 127.0.0.1 port 23.
Just remeber to setup a name/password for that connection profile. As long as
your PRI's or whatever are available you can get access to the box. This
is great when you are trying to get Frame Relay fired up on a Max.
Thanks - Tim
