The first thing to do is check the release notes for more recent versions
of TNT software. The problem might already have been fixed. [I didn't see
it but...]
The second thing you need to do is contact Ascend technical support and
report a bug so that they can open a trouble ticket and have an engineer
fix the problem. http://www.ascend.com/2397.html
Save your tcpdump information to provide to support if they ask for it.
The third thing you can try to do, if you don't want to reset the TNT is
try to get the TNT to cycle through the ports until it gets back to the
valid range.
I can see two ways to do this. The first is to write a perl/expect script
to telnet to the TNT and try to make about 130 rlogin connections. The
second is to just dial the TNT yourself and authenticate as an rlogin user
wait for the failure and then hang up. This shouldn't take more than an
hour at the most and then your TNT should be ready again.
