Try querying the OID directly with something other than MRTG. If you 
get a response that makes sense, your MRTG Options are a problem. If 
you don't get a valid response back, the OID is incorrect for your 
situation.

I graph modems, etc. on a TNT and use these options:

Options[calls]: gauge, integer

Using absolute _and_ gauge, as in Daniel's example, may be a problem.

I use the following on a TNT. Things will be somewhat different on 
your Maxen, but it gives an idea of how Ascend does things:

Look in the docs for the MIBS used by your equipment. It'll help you 
find the OID for your need, and also clue you in to some of the 
information that's available. The TNT docs give a nice overview of 
the Ascend MIB hierarchy that I haven't seen in Ascend's other 
manuals, and much of the information is applicable. You can get it 
from Ascend's FTP site.

As for the number of lines, on the TNT each PRI has an OID of it's 
own, so you have to add each OID together to sum them up. Therefore, 
the OID will vary by the slot in use. Here's an example of a hunt 
group using two PRI, each 23B+D:

Target[twoprihuntgroup]:
1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7.304&1.3.6.1.4.1.529.4.21.1.7.305:community at router
