Thunder and Sprint

Well, after a exhausting month of fighting with telco with a line problem
they are finally doing a end to end " class A ".

To fill you in. We have a small pop with a T1 frame relay connection
to the net. Every time we have a thunder storm we loose connection.
Our Livingston router shows " Connecting " but can't until we physically
reboot either the DSU/CSU or the router ( we can also unplug/plug the
connection to the Pair Gain ) to re-establish the connection.

Sprint says to me that they refuse to support Livingston routers because
in their words " Livingston routers don't do Frame Relay very well ".
They can't handle the little " bumps " that may occur on the " line " as
well as Cisco, Baynetworks,....Ascend, etc.

Fact or Fiction ?
