Re: (ASCEND) Erase P50?

Been there, done that, was a life saver. I picked up a new customer who was fed
up with another ISP. The old ISP had password protected the login to the Pipe50
and refused to give the password to the customer. So I had to call up Ascend and
clean everything out update it and start over. Must say I was pretty pissed at
the old ISP but glad that Ascend though of this idea before hand and had way for
me to deal with this issue.
