Speaking of 'phone closets' - we have some AGS boxes in them. 

Someone said 'With those fans pumping, & no filters in ther ciscos, in
a non-computer-room environment - won't the cards & innards get filthy
& not work so well ??"

Someone else said "Aww - don't worry so much!!"

I thought "I know - I'll ask Mr. Bill !!"

Two suggestions I've heard:
1) Get some sort of filtration system on the AGS air intake.
    (I couldn't find one at Kragen's Auto Supply, though.)

2) Have someone (like our in-house hardware support org.) vacuum out the AGS
   every 6 months or so. (This sounded somewhat reasonable to me - have you
   heard of any such activity, maybe in Saudi Arabia, or closer to home ?)

Seriously though, I'd like your opinions on this. 

We've had two of these in closets for 3 months or so, & the closets do seem 
somewhat dusty to me. Thanks. Knock 'em dead at Interop.
