Seems like we got another person that misses words written in plain English.

You must have dealt with cruddy providers in your time. Ever hear of a
smart jack just being bad on one T1 while others work fine. I have. For
matters of redundancy I would hope some would have looked into a Shadow
T. Heck most *newer* (so called) engineers haven't even heard the term.
That's precisely the reason I wrote *usually all...*

Why can't you. While it might not be practical, doesn't mean you can't/
Why are you repeating my point?

Oh please, I can kill Asterisk (all versions) with 13 packets. Re-read
that statement. 13 packets. All versions. Digium staffers know this.
Throw it behind your SBC, take your pick nCite, Newport Networks,
Acme, Nextone.
Wow, you got some talent, last time I checked this thread wasn't about
security, BTW I can kill it with a sledgehammer.

No it won't. I've had plenty of burnouts using Rhino channel banks that
were behind APC's InfraStruXure line of product.s
Plenty implies at least 2 burnouts, was that at the same location or
at 2 different ones? and did it only burn out the channel banks or
also some coffee machine? Did you also have a tire blowout at one
point in your life? what about slipping on a banana peel? Keep to the
point, we are *not* talking about cards, we are talking about the
whole system failing because of a lighting. Although I'm sure it has
happened even behind a good surge and/or UPS system. If the whole
building gets hit you are again out of luck.

They don't? Funny, I've seen it happen from everything from AMD, Sun,
HP, SGI, you name it.
You are telling me that it was: A. Well regulated B. Well maintained
C. good ventilation, and it died suddenly, without giving you any
hints before hand?
I just don't believe you, I might have on one machine, but I'm not
going to believe you since you said you seen it on every machine. BTW,
have you ever seen a machine that survived everything and was just
taken to the dump because it was outdated and wasn't needed anymore?

Oh really? Sounds like you live in hardware Nirvana. How long have you
been in the computing environment?
No they don't, they give some warnings like too hot.

Will it?
oct 10 21:37:30 sunw,ultrasparc-iie: [id 521363 kern.warning]
warning: [aft1] uncorrectable memory error on cpu0 data access at
tl=0, errid 0x00014e44.b98167c1
The above confirms again that you have some dyslexia problems. Read
again: *if the right motherboard is uses*. You obviously aren't using
the right motherboard.
Funny, that seems to reboot the entire machine. I thought in your
Nirvana it would be isolated. How many architectures outside of a
simple i386 arena have you PROFESSIONALLY administrated? (Dell
Optiplex's don't count nor do Poweredge)
Do you want the answer?

I suggest you send the list information on all of your vendors so
we could all move to this fairy tale land of computer heaven.
Can you answer the question? Again you seem to miss the point.

Blah to the rest of your post. You make little sense. As for looking for
a job. Send a resume down my way, I need something to keep the coffee
from spilling on my Pix' and Netscreens.
That does show for someone that PROFESSIONALLY administrates computers.
