Indeed - Cisco's hardware, especially the older, smaller boxes, tended to be really solid once you got them running. I was just pondering a few minutes ago on how many 2500's I configured & installed in 1996 & 1997 are still running today, on code that's no longer supported by Cisco, and which are incapable of taking enough flash to load a newer image. -John
