ya know, I am a fan of if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but dude....Do you
never want the fixes and features of newer code? Just curious... Especialy
with Cisco NAT in it's infant stages...

I work at a subsidiary of a large healthcare company. My office is 100%
Cisco for Routers and Switches. We have a total of 30 routers and 8
switches. I work with 30 remote sites, a main office and separate Data
Center. I have attached a show version from one of our two 7505 core
routers. As you can see it has been up for over 4 years without any
problems. Our second has been up almost 2 years. My parent company is a
"Nortel" shop. They have to re-boot their core router about every 45-60
days or more offten and many of their switches on a regular basis. Granted,
they push a lot more data through their system, but still...... As
approximately 1/3 of my remote sites run across the Parent company WAN a
majority of the down time I am faced with is because of the "Nortel"
equipment.
I don't know if this will help, but it makes me feel better to vent a
little. Please call me if you want any more specifics.
