>Now, any ideas on what could cause this? It's ComOS 3.7 (as per =
the subject)
and it just seems that all input from the CSU stops completely =
until I manually
(or via a script) do a 'reset w1', which resolves the problem.

Uhhh, yeah, all those CRC errors coming in the port. The other =
thing that sticks out is the TX error. You should NEVER EVER EVER =
see an error transmitted out.=20

The debug's kinda look like the infamous 3.5R problem, but when =
you have that many CRC's, most likely the lmi polls coming into =
you are actually failing the CRC check and tossed.=20

>Yes, this is the demon spawn line from hell, and any suggestions =
anyone here
has about Mystery Telco Frame Cloud stuff would be useful.

There is no mystery, only physics. And I can probably say I am the =
premiere frame relay troubleshooter on the list :) (I work for the =
3rd largest frame relay provider in the world)=20

Can the telco loop test to the NIU OK? CSU? How about the CSU in =
the frame switch? Can they run to a hard loop at the NIU? Verify =
line options. Seems kinda simple, but hey, stranger things have =
happened.=20
