Oh, now the IOS is Unixish ?? Phew, so by that token, all Unix experts would be CCIE... so I guess the number would include all the so call Unix/Linux "experts" I don't remember mentioning that the ATM runs NT, most of them actually run OS2. The extra $$ you save from using open?? source OS would be waste on support.... In case you have not notice, Cisco is working on a GUI....
