Re: OT Cheap SFP vendors

Yea, hardware, all covered by smartnet. Quit picking on me :P Yea, that's
the magic of Cisco, and the downfall. The support everything, but don't
support everything very well. Lots of bugs, at least on the enterprise class
equipment. Larger platforms I still love. I work in a small ISP, so use
Cisco boxes in the DSLAM (don't try it at home kids). I would go redback if
I had the budget. I'd use small juniper boxes if they supported PPPoE
servers. So am stick with LinkCisco at the moment. Hopefully with Cisco
ditching all of their regarded products like the flip, they can start making
real routers again.
