Thanks, Will keep that in mind.
Did the upgrade page on Cisco where you cut and paste a 'dspcds' and it
tells you firmware issues you will have going to 9.2 help at all? I am
wondering if it would have spotted your MEE code as a problem.

I just did almost that exact same upgrade. We are at 9.2.32 right now. It
was kinda rocky because of some bad firmware on BXMs. I think we had
problems with MEE. We are using MEF now and everything is cool. Good
Luck...and remember to turn off stats :)

I guess I did hear about that - but everyone including Cisco was being
hush-hush.
I'm about to go from 9.109 to 9.2.33 on my IGX network - so if you hear
about Seagate blipping off the scope, it's because I didn't read the
manual.

No, AT&T has a good-sized StrataCom network, hence the large outage in
their
frame network last year. :) Badly implemented software update (someone
didn't read the manual).

Everything on the WAN track is awful - Their are no books, and the
documentation sucks after you get past IGX/BPX 101. I have been waiting
for a higher level troubleshooting class for years. The last one they had
was in the IPX days.
>From what I hear you have to not only know how to configure all of the
StrataCom stuff, but multi-vendor PBX's as well. They tell me you have to
also setup Cisco WAN Manager on a Solaris Platform (what they used to call
SV+ - there are some tricks to this one from personal experience, you need
to be somewhat UNIX savvy)
>From the last stats that I saw dated 4/30/00 their were only 59 in the
world with a 5:1 ratio on passing the lab - the R/S is about 3:1
I had also planned on getting the WAN CCIE after my R/S, due to the fact I
support a pretty good size StrataCom network.
That is if I ever pass the R/S lab.

P.S. I was under the impression that AT&T only had Ascend? not StrataCom.

Anybody out there know what to do to prepare for this? 2 MGX8850's have
recently become available to me - the docs are awful though.
