<shudder>  We had all kinds of problems with this on the BosaNOVAs we 
bought to upgrade our PABX interlinking from Rural Carrier (flower of 
1950s technology) that was slowing dying, though had been quite reliable 
for about 20 years before.

We /still/ haven't gotten it 100% right.  Every firmware fix we've 
received from them has some flaw that makes the upgrade less attractive 
than the apparent fixes.
