Yes it is, Ascned is good at working with customers. We had what we
thought was a problem with a card. They had a new one to us in 4 hours,
even though it turned out to be our problem with a config error. We are
using them at all the NAPs and they are stable. Several providers have
started to deploy them in their networks. Why don't you look at the box
before you get in Ascends case.
