As for *stabliity*, you've been lucky as they send out random bad packets with echo enabled, theres no way to gracefully bring down the link (ie issuing a term request) and the performance is off vs hdlc with echo enabled. Of course I was talking about 2501's (as the discussion here certainly doesn't pertain to 7500 series routers), but I *assume* that they are running the same protocol code on both. Maybe not. db
