As with many things, if you have to ask how much it costs before deciding to order it, you can't afford it.
You don't get it, me thinks. For lots of people here, networks are not a toy funded by the taxpayer's money, they're a tool to make money and popular wisdom that I have found being practiced here says that indeed you _do_ ask how much it costs before you buy it. I don't buy a million bucks peace of equipment because it looks cool and I just got funding. I buy a million bucks piece of equipment because I want ROI on it, and if the ROI is 500k over 5 years I actually don't buy it.
Yeah, the state of CA sure hasn't purchased tens of millions of dollars worth of stuff they don't need *cough*oracle*cough*. :) I think the point was, for people who actually need this router, price isn't a factor. If you actually need it, there are no other options. And if money is a primary consideration, this is not the router for you. The secondary market is obviously where the value is...and I doubt these will show up on ebay. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
