RE: (ASCEND) Clocking question

["John Coy (anc.net)" <jcoy@anc.net>]

That may be what you're supposed to do, but I've found that setting
Clock=Yes on all T1/PRIs on a MAX will save you some trouble.
If your first PRI goes offline, and you have Clock=No set on all
your other PRIs, then none of them will clock properly and your
entire system will be unusable.

I set Clock=Yes on all my WAN links and everything works fine.
Again, that may not be the 'right way to do it', but I've found
that it helps.
