thanks for the insight.
unfortunately, i'm in an environment where all kinds of anguish, fear.
uncertainty and doubt (not to mention resistance, fits and threats) were
raised when Y2K bullies "forced" an upgrade to RS 11.03/9 last year, so i'm
pretty far from offering a perspective on bcc.
i'm glad that vendors are attempting to stay competitive, even if not
economically.
i've heard people claim that one advantage of mastering the IOS cli is that
it makes it easier to work with equipment from smaller vendors since many
of them are either outright copying a cisco cli look and feel or hoping to
get bought by them.
do others on the list agree?

Keep in mind that Nortel actually has *two* CLIs on their routers: the TI
(the traditional CLI) and now the BCC (Bay Command Console, or Blatant
Cisco
Copy if you prefer, although it's quite a misnomer). The BCC was developed
for two reasons: one, to make Cisco people more comfy with Bay routers; and
two, because their GUI, Site Manager (or Site Mangler, which is *not* a
misnomer) stinks. As far as I'm concerned, the BCC is a few steps ahead of
Cisco's CLI. It's much more user-friendly, and offers a more logical view
of the elements of the router's configuration. It's only available with
BayRS 12.00 and above, but if you're ever in a Bay environment, check it
out
(type "bcc" at the TI prompt).

in defense of the TI interface, although many cisco counterparts yield
better information, anyone not afraid of unixesque scripting may write &
implement their own commands on the RS platform. additionally, bay CLI
access provides snmp get & set commands.
