If you have an solution - let me hear. I'am still unable to connect a
new XMR to an old Cat5000/SUP3 with GE-SX. Because I've tried any
combination of interface settings on both the XMR and the Cat5000 side,
I doubt that they ever will see each other (I hadn't this problem with
our oldish Foundry NI800).
