Can someone comment on the cooling requirements for the CGS?
The problem that we are having is that ever since we swapped out a
AGS for a CGS in our main phone closet, we have been having problems
with our T1 circuit to the internet.  It has been going down like
clock work during the past three weekends and it comes back up
on Monday morning.  Our facilities group turns off all air conditioning
in this area on the weekends and it does get quite hot in there.  I
originally thought that I had pinned it down to being a bad modem, but
now that I am using a second modem and still seeing the same problems,
I'm not sure.  Our original modem was just returned and CASE/DataTel
says there's nothing wrong with it.  Has anyone seen CASE/DataTel
modems not work when they get hot and then start working again when
they cool off?  How about the same question for the CGS?
The reason I am suspicious of the modems is that one day we were
having this problem and I swapped the modem out and then everything
worked fine.  I am wondering if the fan in the previous AGS was keeping
everything cool and now that it's gone, the air around the modem isn't
being circulated as much.  Sound strange?  It is!!!
		Thanks in advance,
