Re: (ASCEND) Max 200 Rebooting itself?

 I too share your frustration.  IMHO the Max 200+ is a piece of junk.

I have been dealing with problems with the Max 200 for over three months
now, and Ascend's TAC and Engineering doesn't seem to have a clue.  I have
tried running every piece of code from 5.0A through 5.0Ap33 to no avail and
was even given an engineering release to try (5.0Ae200.m2).

The problem that I have seen is that the box locks up completely at least
once a day.  All LED indicators go active on the front, the ethernet
interface does not respond and the only fix is to restart the box with a
power cycle.

I have been told everything from the standard "Upgrade to the latest release
of code"; that there is an oscillator problem with the Max 200+; and that
there is a problem with the PCMCIA to bus interface.

I only have the Ascend BRI PCMCIA card in the box and would be afraid to see
what would happen if I were trying to process inbound calls on modems.

Potential boat anchor material.
