Twice in one day i lost the ethernet interface of a max at a remote pop. there were no errors or dropped calls but the message log did show dial in attempts during the outage so setting pools only = yes stopped that from re-occuring. try to issolate exactly what is in common with the things that are going down. things like "is your external CSU/DSU connected to the same UPS as the hub?" I might just be writing crap but i am interested in knowing how you resolve this issue. it may help me in diagnosing a similar problem in the future.
