I'd like to suggest that when making statements like this it would help
to say what is on the other end of that WAN line.

- I have a PM2ER that's been on the end of a WAN line from a cisco
2501/V9.14 for months and has never had a glitch

- I moved this end of the line to a new cisco 2514/V10.3, and it
effectively locked up within a few minutes

A PM2ER is only the last box in a complex interacting set of boxes,
lines, and configurations making up a WAN connection. The box
exhibiting the failure may not be what is causing it.

Hell, I'm beginning to believe that some WAN links just are not meant
to be. My new ciscos talk just fine when I connect the tsus
back-to-back with a crossover connector, but with them at the ends of
a T1 I get CRC errors. NYNEX says the line tests fine demark to
demark; they're now stress-testing it for me.
