Sometimes the people who set up the routers I manage don’t do things in Just The Right Way.
David(15:28:13): isdn working better?
Russ(15:28:21): it’s fixed
Russ(15:28:38): it wasn’t really broken – but it was poorly configured
Russ(15:28:52): “no ppp multilink links minimum 16”
Russ(15:30:01): it’s possible they want all the channels up immediately, but really, that’s just silly. if there’s load on the link, they’ll come up just as fast, and if there isn’t load, it’s $$ down the drain for them
David(15:31:30): other sites did have that in there, noticed that when I compared.
Russ(15:32:50): Wasteful that is. Unneeded that is.
Russ(15:32:57): Dumb that is.
Russ(15:33:20): (you have to imagine me doing the Yoda voice)
David(15:34:14): I hear ya
Russ(15:34:28): “I hear ya Master”
David(15:34:43): Master
Fortunately, I’m here to restore balance to the network.
