Once upon a time Livingston Portmaster List - AAA-Internetservice shaped the electrons to say...
>After "reboot" command from the console (telnet) the portmaster seems
>to hang. The LEDs are lighting but the portmaster does not answer any
>ping requests on the ethernet interface.

That is a definite support issue. Contact support so someone can check
out the issue.

>P.S. The first version we have got (S/N: 2D00065) has had the following bug:
> it was not possible to set E1 at all. The PM3 confirmed ALLWAYS setting
> of T1 instead :-). Till now I did not get any answer why?

ComOS 3.5 had some cosmetic glitches, perhaps this is one. If the unit
is working then it must be E1.

> What differences are between the europian and us versions of PM3?

Hardware. T1 and E1 interface chips are different. You can't put a T1 into
an E1 unit, or vice-versa. So if it is working, it must be E1. If it isn't
working, definitely contact support so they can check on that serial.
