We've learned to trust Livingston software over the last
3-1/2 years... no more.

The issuance of B17 (heck call is a B52) borders on
being an Ascend fiasco.

Anyway using PRI on DMS & 5E switches, running OSPF, and
stacked ... here are our findings:

1) Connect speeds were about 10% slower!
2) We saw the @! garbage
3) Mac, Unix & some older dialer users could NOT
get a login prompt. A carriage return brought it
up every once and a while, but not consistently.

Worry 1 -- If this was supposed to be an upgrade for the
V.90 code, well, back to the drawing board!

Worry 2 -- What happened? This release seems to have
missed the most basic of tests.

The only good news is SLIP worked.. (yes we have one
AS400 customer).
