Re: (ASCEND) TNT multishelf setups

[Jason Nealis <nealis@rcn.com>]

7.2.X has support for Multi-Chasis MPP (ala Stacking), I'm just now testing it so
no word on how stable it is. Given Lucend has coded it properly you could still
utilize the single shelf units. 

Hmm, I'm going to prob ascend in regards to the broken DOV, this is not a good
think as I do offer it in my megapops. I'll post additional information as 
I receive it.
