[AusNOG] Anyone run across any incompatibilities between Telstra's NEC DSLAM's and Cisco ADSL routers?

[Justin Twiss]

Hi guys (&gals!)

Just wondering if anyone else has run across issues with ADSL reliability between Telstra's NEC DSLAM's and Cisco ADSL routers?

Got a client down in Henderson WA who's having all sorts of reliability issues and Telstra have come back and advised that the Cisco ADSL router (877) is conflicting with the NEC gear in the Exchange...


Personally, just sounds like Telstra's trying to fob off the customer to me (given, if someone asked me for a reliable rock-solid ADSL router, I'd point them to the 877 (or above)) but just thought I'd double check before going to the hassle of configuring a non-cisco device for the site...


Off-list responses are probably better and I'll summarise to the list if it's suitable to do so...
