Well, since my first foray into this mailing list panned out such a good answer for my last problem fairly quickly, I've two other problems (separate posts) to inquire about. I'm running into a problem with an ascend max tnt wan access switch. I've run across an error message that I haven't seen before, but which keeps returning, regarding backoff q. The exact error message was (found with the "stat" command): "Backoff Q full, discarding user userhere[317069606]" When this happens, users are not able to connect to the box; or rather, they do connect to the box, but no routing of any sort happens afterwards. Any imput into this matter would be appreciated greatly.
