Can we call on the Avian Carrier RFC here? Packet Loss may take on a whole new meaning here...
At first reading, I saw 'Avian Carrier KFC'.

Where I was at the time (in the early '70's) our disaster recovery documentation included a discussion on selecting the method of getting our stuff to the "hot site" backup location (How many unfamiliar terms have I used so far?). Among the alternatives in that discussion were "wide-band truck" and "wide-band airplane". We thought we had invented the concept. -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- . . - L. F. (Larry) Sheldon, Jr. - .

I'm curious if anyone has ever had any experience with Objective Systems Integrators (OSI) product NetXpert. They were recently purchased my Agilent and their product was primarily sold to CLEC's, large ISP's and telco's (both in the US and abroad). They've taken what looks like the Netx product, cut it's price and are now trying to sell it as a managed service application. I've done my research on deja and other resources but haven't turned up anything so far. Any info anyone has would be great. OSI has been great about providing info as well, but I wanted real world expertise. Michael
