If you have no flash memory on this M7i, there is no issue, but I really suggest adding a flash card for the improved reliability. A 1 GB Compact Flash card from a major supplier should run less than $50. I think the last ones we bought were only about $35. See cluepon for the list of what works. The REs in the M7is seem to take most cards. The T-series REs seem much more touchy. I am confused by the comment on firewalls. Can you provide a pointer to the documentation or more explanation? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
