I am using InternetMCI and I am connected via a Livingston IRX114. I have
never hung or had any other problems w/ the router on either side. I am
connected via a T1 to a Cisco 7000 on the MCI side. If you would like the
exact details about how things are configured, please send me a private
email. I'll be back late this afternoon.
