We are demoing a 5400 from Cisco and I can tell you that it doesn't give any better performance than the Total Control.
We're demoing an AS5300 right now and are pretty happy with it. The only items still pending evaluation are the PIAFS code and Cisco Works, but if we don't hit a showstopper, we've probably bought our last 3Com RAS. Do you plan to put Cisco support into Total Scrutinizer, BTW?
We don't have their CiscoWorks software so I'm not sure what it can do, but I REALLY like TCManager for figuring out problems.
TCM is a very good product, and I will certainly be comparing CiscoWorks against that standard. In fact, TCM is what we like best about 3Com gear. As you say, it's pretty good for figuring out problems (basic ones, anyway). But then, so is the debugging output in IOS :-) Cheers, Jonathan Byrne, CCNA Network Engineer - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
