Jason, About a year ago I heard a rumor that a pretty good sized batch of Ascend P50s made it out of the factory with the same MAC address. Of course, this is semi-OK if they all go to seperate sites, but the Max 1800 was not in widespread use at that time, so the only option for doing dedicated ISDN BRI <-> BRI was to have a rack full of P50s. You can imagine what fun the poor guy that had to figure that one out went through before he figured out the real problem, called Ascend, and explained to them how ARP works...
