Morons that is who.

Care to come pick up the 2 TNTs sitting in my San Antonio facility
kevin? Both shipped DOA, and required new cards to work. Ascend also
didn't bother to tell us MLPPP didn't work with the TNT when they
shipped them to us. I could go on and on.

The TNTs are still sitting there unused. The bottom line is I
certainly don't want to use a box that has such a poor failure rate,
and uses HEAT BURNER rockwell modems.
