Re: Cisco as Big Brother (Was Re: Cisco's AIP vs HSSI)

But you can't get one engineer to hack something into the router code for you on just his say-so anymore. But once you could. I dunno maybe you still can, but I think you have to have megabucks behind you to do it.

Yes, you can, but you have to do it under the table and via direct contacts. And a bottle of cask strength single malt will help. ;-)

You know, I find it hard to think of this as a feature - especially given the number of times the "quick hack" broke something else. And it's always missing the next release of the software. It takes an Act of God to get Bay to release a fix - but it works when they release it, and it works in the next full release too.
