What about longer term maintenance issues? Is the 7500 not scheduled for EOL from Cisco 'soon' ? So, purchasing 7500 bits that might be dropped by 'normal' Cisco support in 1 year versus purchasing some other hardware that will be in support longer might pay out in the longer term?
Write an email-responder at local-support@example.com which replies with "Please upgrade to latest IOS first". Version 2.0 could give you ticket numbers and optionally request you to fill templates full of irrelevant information. Hardware is probably cheaper on eBay than the maintenance fees anyway. Pete
