RE: (ASCEND) Ascend Max 4004 & Series56 Digital Modem Remote Gateway Probs (fwd)
Once upon a time Robert Gash shaped the electrons to say...

PM RIP support is stellar - it is just RIPv1. Not doing RIPv2 is not the
same has having problems. Livingston/Lucent deliberately skipped RIPv2 since
it is inferior to OSPF, and they were working on, and then fielded a solid
OSPF base. They had RIPv2 running, I know they guy who wrote it one
afternoon as a warm up, they deliberately decided not to support it because
it is so inferior to OSPF. And their OSPF is simple to use and reliable.
Ascend did RIPv2 because it was taking them so long to beat OSPF into shape.
Given the choice, use OSPF - a link state protocol beats a distance vector
protocol any day.
