I hereby pronounce success, at least to the degree to be expected from an
extremely complex piece of equipment such as a Max.

I've run tik.m40 with OSPF for months with ever-increasing stability (for
the most part). We're now at 5.0Ap36 and things have been pretty good. Not
perfect, but not fatal errors whatsoever.

I attribute this to the following:

Ascend is working bugs out, especially with OSPF, continuously.

I run a 4000 with only a single PRI and a single K65-12 card.

I religiously fclear, fsave, nvr after each new software load or if I start
having weirdness.
