Yes, although the contact I've had at Ascend has been really helpful, a 
solution hasnt been found.

Possibly there were ARP storms, but, our Cisco's and NT / Unix servers don't 
even flinch with this sort of irregular network activity.

I mean, the Max's we have only run about 14 ISDN B channels and NO KFlex56 
Modems so they arent getting a pounding.
