Dell - Internal Use - Confidential I personally never ran the Ascend gear (outside of a setting up a customer's Ascend Superpipe 95 dual ISDN router one time), but I heard that the TNT gear doubled as space heaters. I remember one facility we were in that had a catastrophic cooling failure and the temperatures went to insane levels. Our PM3's happily kept running and never had an issue where I heard every TNT box in the facility kept rebooting and crashing.

In the mid 90s, I cured lots of this excitement by putting my ascends on a socket timer which physically rebooted them a couple of times daily. The support load dropped off substantially due to that.
