[nsp] ATM questions

[Aaron Howell]

We've recently moved to ATM circuits in a few locations where we
previously had serial DS3 or T1 connections, and we're seeing some
problems.  Basically after about 12 hours or so the latency on the
circuit goes insane, from 400 to 1000 ms.  The router doesn't show any
increase in CPU usage, or memory, it doesn't crash if you leave it go,
it just continues to ping high.  The telco is saying everything is clean
on their end, and there's absolutely no problem, they also say my config
looks good.  We're having this problem in two geographically separate
locations, (SD and AZ), on two different platforms, (3640 and 7513),
with two different IOS versions, but the EXACT same symptoms.  I'm not
ruling out my config being wrong, as I'm new to the ATM game.  It seems
to me that when the latency goes nuts the output drops have increased
dramatically, and the weird thing about that is that it's generally at
low traffic times, late in the evening, or early in the morning.  Config
from the 7513 is included below, if anybody has any ideas I would
appreciate some feedback.
