Then how come in all my trouble tickets and explanations of problems
they have never mentioned to *me* that it is only 80% implemented?

Not here. We have many areas.

Nope, we're completely dynamic. While we've switched to dynamic IP
for new customers, we have hundreds of "legacy" customers that have
static IP addresses, and they can log onto any of our POPs.

That's news to me as well. We've been attempting to use
authentication since day one. Aren't you nervous opening up the
routing in your network to your more sophisticated customers?

We do just the basics as well, and don't allow the Maxen to be any
sort of designated router.

We're attempting to run OSPF throughout the entire network. I'm not
really interested in summarizing between areas using a different
protocol. I guess my point is that I shouldn't have to. Where does
Ascend state publicly that their OSPF implementation is known to be
imcomplete?
I don't even want to get into the stacking snafu.
Meanwhile, the Livingston OSPF implementation has worked 100%
flawlessly, since the day I installed it.
I've been attempting to use OSPF and stacking on these things
(features currently being advertising and marketed) for months. I'm
getting very tired of this.
