Hello once more,

As I already mentioned in a private e-mail to Mr.Traina,
Cisco's are out of game not because I don't respect them
by any reason, but because of cost and support issues just
in my local area.
Of course, I'm really interesting in the technical details
about "what Cisco is able to do which FreeBSD cannot",
I'm familiar with FreeBSD but not with Cisco's "black boxes".
(Isn't this aspect important from security point of view, too?)
