Gary,
In most cases you CAN get it to work... except with Nortel... They have
trouble with VOIP... don't know why but it always ends with a sale call..
hey buy more of our stuff and it will work...
Anyway.... An important point (regardless of cisco versus and lesser
product (and they all in the end are lesser)) is that a multivendor network
raises the total cost of Ownership by 31%... There was a great article on
this some months back but that was the industry stat. The extra cost comes
into play by ; Training, downtime, extra boxes for more scalability etc
If anyone knows where that article is at please let me know... I lost it
and want it back bad!
