Re: PA-T3 interface not responding

We used to get those a lot on HSSI cards, it seems to be basically a case
where the software gets out of sync with the hardware and can't get it
going again.

For the PA-H's, just pulling out the card and re-inserting it was enough
to get it going again, though rebooting was also effective. 8-(

I think contributing factors were having too many cards in the router,
some of which were CT3-PA's. There have also been verious IOS bugs
causing this, but if you're running something curreint in 11.1CC, or
12.x you shouldn't be seeing those...
