The product had a lot of problems when it first came out (I was a beta
customer), but with hard work Ascend fixed all of them. The box now nice
and stable. If you want to do a lot of OC12 interfaces I would go with the
GSR, but if you are looking for a box to replace your 75xx with, then I
would go with the GRF.

Very stable, but I have only worked with them for a few weeks.
