Yes. For a long time those boxes were the work-horse of the Internet, until the 7200's came along :-). In fact, most telco's that got into IP (either for data or VoIP) use(d) 7500's, regardless of when they came into the game (must be a telco thing). There have been lots of issues with this platform, but one thing holds - if you are not needy on IOS upgrades, it was a very stable box, often with sentiment :-). Migration path now is either the 7200-VXR, 7600/6500, GSR or CRS-1 (depending on what you do with your packets, of course). Cheers, Mark.
