We find that the P25s work fine for subnet-routed ISDN accounts. The lack
of ping, trace, etc. make me dislike them but they do work fine for us as
long as you're not trying to admin them. My main beef with them is that
while you can't Telnet to them you can Remote to them from another Pipeline
or a Max that you have a PPP link to, but the TNT's Remote command doesn't
work, so the P25s are no longer remotely controllable for us. And talking
anyone through Ascend's interface over the phone makes you want to go into
potato farming.
