My post was meant to be light hearted, not a plea for help. I think it's obvious that the bot that responded to my email query is messed up. Once again- humor alert! :) I'm familiar with SMARTnet and the warranty process but thanks for asking- there might be some on the list that aren't. I'm still batting back and forth if I will Snet access devices that are under $1000 - right now I'm thinking that is a waste of money/time/effort.

Are you within the warranty period for support? If you're not familiar with SMARTnet take a moment to check it out: http://www.ciscomug.org/resources/files/cmugpresentation-20020206-smartn et.p pt After flipping through that presentation, are you still within the valid warranty period? If so, contact the TAC over the phone and tell them about the feelings you are having regarding their service. [EMAIL PROTECTED] != Cisco Customer Advocacy Representatives. If after going through those slides you realize you are outside your warranty, you should understand what's happening to you. It costs money to run a business. The pricing of their support is typically something I would not argue with. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: William Pearch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 11:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT:What I mean to Cisco [7:51492] I've got a poorly behaving 1710 router (reboots when you log out/TACACS issue) that I'm trying to get straight with the TAC and I received this; Dear $Customer$, Thank you for contacting Cisco's Technical Assistance Center(TAC).
