The Rolm switch that I heard the complaints about had redundant
modules.  Evidentally the system decides at 2 AM to switch the
active and back up modules.  Great, but it doesn't do anything
to check to see if the backup module is working and hence the
thing crashes when you switch the load to it.

As far as modems, I'm talking about traditional dialup modems
routed over Rolm voice lines, not the Rolm Data Creature.
