Hmm. I'm in the opposite boat. I am currently working on a private Cisco router for a customer.
Cisco wants a lot of $$$ to fix their falty IOS software. Furthermore, his router is "end of life"ed -- meaning that he can not update the IOS on it after getting a support contract. He has to replace this otherwise functional router with a new model, and then purchase a support contract to get the IOS updates he will need. This is going to end up costing more than the original cost of this router just to fix a buggy IOS. >>Cisco is one exception, and possibly the >>best example of a company that puts everything possible out in the >>public domain without requiring high support costs. I think it all comes down to the bottom line for share holders for most of these companys. I am a shareholder, and I can somewhat understand this thinking. http://www.primeinc.com ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
