Very good routers. We have been using them for several years now. Very solid product, and very easy to setup services: ie vprn/ vpls/ epipe, etc. The qos on the box is very scalable. I could talk more about them off line with you or discuss more over phone. On Mar 4, 2010, at 5:22 PM, "Scott Weeks" <surfer@mauigateway.com> wrote:

I'll have to second everything everyone is saying. Absolutely pleased with everything about them. Just wish I had more 7750s instead of 7450s. On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 5:59 PM, Craig <cvuljanic@gmail.com> wrote:
