(ASCEND) Full-Duplex on Max6000

["Mike Hughes" <mike@dircon.net>]

I was looking through the mailing list archives for a definitive answer 
on this, and couldn't find one.

Here's the score:

Several Max 6000's running into Cisco Catalyst 2924/2916 
switches.

If the Catalyst ports are set to auto-sensing, I get 100Base-T half-
duplex by default.

If I force the Catalyst port into full-duplex, and reboot the Max, the 
Max still comes up half-duplex, 99% of the time. Only once did one 
of the Maxen correctly detect the full-duplex. Next time I reloaded 
that box, it came up half-duplex.

So, has anybody figured out how to get a Max6000 into 100Base-T 
full-duplex reliably yet?

Has anyone actually sent a feature request into Ascend to have 
Ethernet port speed and duplex settings built in as a twiddle in the 
config menus?

Thanks!
Mike
