That's a real shame that they don't make the Pagent IOS available. It would
finally give us a use for those old 2500's!!!

I'm not joking about that either.

Its a definite potential market for the Pagent IOS. Cisco should release
it. But maybe put it on a separate page than the standard IOS download
pages. That way it would be harder to "accidentally" run it in production.

I've never seen that IOS in use, but it seems to me that the documentation
for that command structure would probably be pretty obvious. You are just
filling in fields in the IP/TCP/UDP headers to generate traffic.

BTW, the 2500's do make great PCs for remote labs. So they aren't totally
dead and useless!!! :)
