Ivan,
Congratulations. I guess your wife gets her husband back now! Without
going into detail at all, (NDA), what did you think of the addition of the
3550s? Were they a stumbling block, or did you just think of them as a
funny looking router and move on? No details or technologies, just what you
thought of it after finishing. I'm sure many people on this list are
curious how Cisco integrated them.
