First of all thanks to all who have responded to my message, though
I didn't post it at the time our cisco failures were scattered throughout
the US and all but one was on a power filter of medium quality.

The executive summary of the messages is this:

cisco's have historically never failed in the area of their switching
power supplies.  However five sites (who shall rename nameless) report
that AGS's, CGS's, MSM's all delivered in the last 3-4 weeks have had
infant mortality problems (they run for 24 hours and die).  Sounds
like a bad batch of power supplies to me, but as long as the power
cords don't zap our technician's like IBM's were there for awhile,
I think we'll survive.

Thanks Again, this helps us understand better what is going on.

Marty
