Your right. I think it was just _yesterday_ that the cisco's OC48 interface could actually do OC48 rates.. :) Everyone is "bitching" because they need functionality to support their product base. You/Marketing/Sales (ISP) sells a product to a customer - you in turn need functionality from your vendors. The cycle does not stop or slow.. Your customer: "I want everything, and I want it for less money." You to you vendor: "I want everything, and I want it for less money." Your vendor to their suppliers: "I want everything, and I want it for less money." This "bitching" is how new innovations are made, prices fall, and technology moves on. Short memories are a good thing - without them most of us would never be repeat customers of our vendors. ;) .chance

It seems like just yesterday everyone was blown away by an OC-48 capable router. Now everyone is bitching that they can't apply access lists on 8 port GE card. I am absolutely blown away by what a short memory everyone in this industry has.
