I think we can all agree here that everyone has different requirements on
their RAS box.  Sure, the basics are the same, but very few people configure
the box with a basic config (this is shown by the number & type of postings
on this list).  The users I see who configure the box with minimal features,
have their boxes just sit there & do their thing.  Sure the occasional Power
supply, modem card, but that's about it.

I agree, but if any other vendor had a 'perfect' solution, wouldn't we all
be using it.  There are boxes out there with a lot more issues than Ascend
have.
