That's the day we decided we needed better edge routers :-).. I watch a
modem pool infected with code red melt a cisco 3640. Had to throw a
Linux box in it's place while I waited for Cisco equipment.

Why exactly an access platform should melt down when a worm occurs

I personally never ran the Ascend gear (outside of a setting up a
customer's Ascend Superpipe 95 dual ISDN router one time), but I
heard that
the TNT gear doubled as space heaters. I remember one facility we
were in
that had a catastrophic cooling failure and the temperatures went to
insane
levels. Our PM3's happily kept running and never had an issue where
I heard
every TNT box in the facility kept rebooting and crashing.

"Exciting" was just the word for Ascends. In the mid 90s, I cured
lots of
this excitement by putting my ascends on a socket timer which
physically
rebooted them a couple of times daily. The support load dropped off
substantially due to that.
