I would have to agree with Mark on this. Cisco has EOL'd products that still do the job that they were originally installed to do, but was not cost effective to update to handle the advances in technology. Lucent has done the same. Technology changes daily and it becomes more difficult to support the older hardware and make it work with the changes in technology.
As I pointed out in my previous message...Cisco still *sells* the 2500 routers, and they even run CEF now! There is no way on earth that you can compare 3Com/CommWorks support of old equipment with Cisco. Cisco is orders of magnitude ahead of 3Com/CommWorks on this count.
Yeah... so??? That's a router. How much has v.35 interfaces changed over the last 10 years. How much as 10base-T ethernet changed over the last 10 years? Now, take the proper comparison (not one that just fits your cause), such as the Cisco 5200, which will not support v.92, and we have a real life comparison of a like product. A comparison of a technology that changes every year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Curtis V.
