if you ever want to see something funny, tell a customer in the presence of a Cisco account team that the customer should sell his old stuff on eBay rather than trade it in to Cisco.
if looks could kill....... on a more serious note, while Cisco can make a very good legal case against folks who buy used routers, then download new IOS images, I think it might be very difficult for them to take legal action against people who sell used Cisco equipment, or those who buy. This ground has already been covered with used PC's, used IBM computer and terminal equipment, used cars, used books, etc etc etc. ""Mike Sweeney"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I just heard from a friend that a SonicWall rep was saying(dont you love 5th > hand news) that Cisco is planning to crack down on PIXes being resold on > Ebay by killing any and all support for them.
