cisco makes routers of any number of sizes, for all occasions. an 827, for example, might take the place of a tack hammer, while a 3660 or a 7206 might make a good replacement for a 10 lb sledge. in fact, after a frustrating all nighter, trying to fix some problem or another, I have often been tempted to use my routers in such a fashion ;-> Chuck Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=44982&t=44876 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
