Re: (ASCEND) Overheating Maxen?
We are running 5.0Ap51 on our 4000's, and we like the 2 analog, 1 ISDN PRI
per MAX setup. Any more than that and it flakes out hardcore. Though you
say running less than 4 PRI/box isn't an option, it will most likely be
the only way to get rid of this problem. I currently have one 4000 with 4
PRI in it (the 4th is about to be moved to another box) and it reboots all
the time. Here is a dump of what fatal provides in diagnostics.

Look familiar? None of my other 3 PRI/MAX units have this problem.
