Right now I'm doing an evil tunnel across the P50 just to get BGP going with the person using the link. Then i have all that plugged into my FreeBSD gateway box, doing iBGP and linking two other ethernets. Which is why I'm thinking of trialling out a box with some multi-BRI and sync serial cards in it :-) Denis - you don't have any Australian redistributors, do you? Do you have anyone in Australia that has bought some of your products so I can see what they're like for myself? Considering that my company hasn't got the money to buy a 3640 to replace all the crap listed above, they're pretty hesitant to spend all this money on gear if its not going to work. (Although if you'll take it back if it DOESN'T perform and if I get a full refund I don't think they'll mind as much.. :) IMHO - ever seen a 2501 doing a BGP update? with >5000 routes? From two views? Its ugly, and can kill the router for a good two-three minutes. In contrast, my FreeBSD box picks the routes up, and chews though them in under a second or so. And its a DX2-66.
