Same one we were having: truly crappy modem connections on two CT1's due to (we now know) clock slip. > The MAX will sync to one of the T's...dependent on the clock-source settings. > If the other T's are not synchronized with that particular one, or drift > with respect to the source - then you will see frame slips on them. > > The MAX buffering *will* handle very small discrepancy, but I don't recall > of the top-o-my-head what it is.... Apparently not enough in this case. And these are T1's coming from the same provider, same location, but different clock sources. We can get the frame to work fine, but then modems can't stay connected... or we can get clean modem connections, but now the frame shows errored seconds. To get them both clean, it looks to me like I have to move the frame relay off the Max and onto a Cisco with a CSU/DSU.
