RE: (ASCEND) I am screwed, right?

Are you sure?  I have -always- been able to get into debug mode from the
console, I thought Ascend left that in as console access so you wouldn't
have to send a box back if you got "royally screwed" and forgot the
passwords or something catastrophic happened with the config.

So basically at the console you don't have "diagnostics" available when
you do a Control+D? 

How about 'ESC' '[' 'ESC' '='?

Either something's different on your box or I'm wrong (wouldn't be
surprised if either was the case *grin*) but as far as I know you should
have access to debug mode from the console.
