Don't have any vacuum tubes, either. ;-) Sounds like a denial of service attack maybe, or someone spamming from your ports, as I'd be surprised if you saturated 2 T1's of data from regular usage. Typically we see 1:4 to 1:8 usage ratio (not dialup usage, rather active bandwidth users at any given second), so even if you had 96 ports on the MAX you shouldn't be filling one T1, let alone flooding two. You can get a hub for about $20 - get a laptop with a free packet analyzer (like Linux's tcpdump or ntop, or there are some free Windows ones too), and plug it in and watch what's happening - that would be a lot quicker (and probably generate less complaints) than playing trial and error with which services to block. ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
