Need help GigE between Luxn<-->Cisco7500

Hello,

We have recently turned up a GigE link (~5 miles) between our two
facilities.  The carrier, Time W, is using Luxn 3202 optical access devices
as termination gear on each end of the link.  The luxns in turn
connect via GigE to two cisco 7507 GEIP (we know about GEIP vs GEIP+).

          10 ft          5 mile              10 ft
cisco7507----- Lyxn 200===CO=====Luxn 1019 ------cisco7507-1019
          ^^^            ^^^              ^^^
      multi-mode      single-mode     multi-mode

The Cisco 7507 gigE port at 1019 sees alot of Giant packets and
%OSPF-4-ERRRCV errors suggesting that the ethernet frames are getting
corrupted. 
MTU on each cisco is 1500 and the link is forced to 1000. We consistently
see packet losses of 10-20% with no load at all.

If anyone has any experience with Luxn gear and/or Luxn-cisco
interconnection please contact me off list.

thanks
ak
