So it was _one_ of the drivers, but was it a more major driver than "for the love of God, not Redback!"?  :)

I think there were some significant issues with the redback of the time, but ... near as I recall a pile-o-cash was put forth on both 19262 and 701 to do 'upgrades for CALEA' (at least on 701 those upgrades drove other features as well). In 701-land that ended up as 'lots more E3+ linecards!', in 19262 land that ended up being: "ERX for everyone!" (again, there could have been other drivers, but one major one was indeed 'calea monster!' - one wonders if they've ever even had a calea request to date...) -chris
