Re: (ASCEND) Missing modem cards
I've seen it too, running 5.0ap48, but not for several weeks (darn, where's
some wood) It doesn't seem related to a particular card or slot; I've tried
swapping. Finally I swapped the modem out with a spare MAX and haven't seen
the problem since. I'm not confident the card was bad though. I'll have to
put that spare MAX online soon though, so it'd be nice to know why...
