But today, my ISP uses dual cisco 5800's. I always
thought the 7206
stuffed on top of each one was a kludge, but then, I'm still a big
cisco fan.
Some of us don't like getting raped on pricing of networking gear.. even
EMC uses Allied Telesyn gear.
Anywho, I still prefer my Xyplex MAXserver 1600's, and Network 9000s,
which are based upon the venerable DECserver.
From what I've heard, the Engineering IT group at
Purdue has had plenty
of issues with Annex 3 boxes (some are still in service for a
dialup
modem pool there). I've never heard anyone I work with complain about
problems with Xyplex gear.
