   We already went through the clocking problem.  We have 4 PRIs
 on our TNT.  I also had to re-crimp a cable just so it would
 work in the TNT.  It worked fine with a Max4k.

   This is documented with Ascend.  I suspect it may be related
 to the first problem.  If the signal is not strong enough for
 the TNT, that may cause the bandwidth to fluxuate.
   
   I also forgot to mention the terrible CLI.  The console 
 maintenance on the Max4000 is much easier, and informative.
