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.
