Re: (ASCEND) Ticket #802135 - Disconnect Problems on 4048 with 7.0.1
Join the crowd, I'm getting a TON of disconnects over here, However I
think there are other contributing factors also making things worse. But
THERE IS A PROBLEM on my Ascend equipment, My customers/management are
getting ready to toss me the fuck out the window if I don't get
connections stable again over here.
