A common approach for a company going out of business is to arrange for a
support partner to provide continued support. When Olicom went out of
business, they arranged for Vital Network Services to continue support.
Unisys (and probably others) has support and third-party maintenance
agreements with Enterasys and may be able to support customers for at least
an interim period.

Subject: OT: Support After A Company Goes Under
Some of you may know, that Enterasys(Cabletron) has had some SEC problems
the last few months. I know there is still a lot of Cabletron devices still
out in production environments, but what happens if Cabletron goes under as
far as support goes? If the company goes away tomorrow, is support usually
still provided for a few months or what exactly is the trend? I just want to
get a heads up on what you guys thought because I know we have a lot of
their gear (not my choice) and dont want to be left out to dry if they go
under. TIA
