In case this matters, I also noticed that the CLU/ALU utilization displays are patently wrong. I was doing two FTP downloads simultaneously in Netscape, with a reported combined download speed of 11-13K/sec. The CLU/ALU utilization were varying between 8 and 10%. The fact that it never drops before 15 minutes and always (so far) seems to drop shortly thereafter has convinced me that one router or the other does have a "feature" that is kicking me off. Any other Pipeline users with 5.0Ap5 having trouble with 2B calls that last more than 15 minutes?

William, I manually bring up the second B channel; I'm using MP (not MPP); the minimum and maximum channel count are 2.
