There have been some SERIOUS problems with these that shipped in the early part of last year. (there was a 6 month manufacturing hold at DEC on UDA50s, but a lot slipped out before then). The sporadic offline problems you are having sound like this could be the problem. This is fixed by a micro-code revision and some assorted hardware munging in the UDA50. Ask you DEC field service people to look into the rev levels of the equipment you have. MANY DEC FIELD SERVICE PEOPLE WILL NOT ADMIT ANY OF THIS IS TRUE!!!, so you may have to be persistant. -JCP-
