Re: Pre-sales People
That does sound strange, I did work as a pre -sales guy for a while. I basically knew most customers don't want to spend lots of cash on equipment, but it was important to think about the future growth. Of course some customers were max out on their network, so tossing money at the problem was necessary. Pre-sales are sometimes told to push certain equipment depending on vendor discounts, incentives etc. In that case it does sound strange 2 -6000's to replace one 8 port switch. Is it possible the 8 port switch was acting as a backbone to lot of servers down stream? Usually the Pre-sales engineer's proposal will give a reason for the recommendation. If they are think about the future you can always add another later?? Nigel Brad Ellis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 8jjsaq$rjs$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:8jjsaq$rjs$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hi!

Re: Cisco Router for Frame Relay
Try to get the 2521 or similar, It has 4 serial ports so you can use up to four dlci's. The 4000 is good also but you will have to buy the modules and it is more expensive.
