Bloody Ciscos. They want shooting.  Typical scene at work:

Me: What do you have 3/21 set to?
OP: Hard set to full 100. What about at your side?
Me: The same.  But I'm down to 512Kb with 13460365 frame errors.
OP: Ok.  I'll go down to auto-auto.
Me: NOOO!  Remember this is Cisco were dealing with.  That was exactly
what we did to fix the last one.  We need to do something different or all
hell will break lose.

Me: Ok. ,48 at my side
OP: autoneging to 10/half.  Fuck.  
Me: Ok, you go down to auto and I will do force 100 full.
OP: Done.
Me: Hmm, down to 8Kb.

Me: Auto-auto my side.
OP: Hard 100 full here.
Me: Hmm, 89Mb now.  Weird.
OP: Bloody Cisco.  They want shooting.
