Hi Gordon,
It's interesting to hear other people's views about the Livingston.
We have, quite literally, thousands of customers each using just
about every conceivable Router or Frad known.
With all due respect to the views of these individuals; to understand
the problem, they would also need the know that AT&T Canada is
receiving Sequence Number Mismatches on their Frame switch. Also,
you are receiving LMI packets every 10 seconds on your router but
yet LMI is not coming active...
This problem that you have is one that I have seen often. I understand
that there is a patch for the IOS and that the latest version
incorporates
this patch, but I have heard that it does not work. If you have any
information about this, I'd love to hear it. It would help me to serve
my
customers better.

Used to be fact, probably mostly fiction these days.
