We've got a new AGS+ with CSC/4 ready to install into our critical network
environment (whose isn't critical...).  I'm looking forward to the increased
speed, Flash EEPROM (excitement builds...).

It was shipped with 9.0(1) software (excitement comes to a grinding halt...).

After reading the trouble reports about 9.0(1) (see above), should I even
bother bringing this AGS/4 on-line?
Yes, we are heavily into TCP/IP (ARP) and bridging.

Unfortunately, and this is a classic case, it seems that lately I have to
*really* question whether to "take a chance" on a new software release.
However, new features and growth force us to move ahead.  But that's a whole
'nother topic.

What are my options?
In the case of this AGS/4, I believe my options are limited to 9.0 software.
Or are they?
Where do I go from here?
Thanks
Tom
