We've been using Edgemarcs for years and it's time to consider a technology
refresh. What's everyone using? Looking for pros, cons, and opinions.
Thanks

Adtran TA900 series. We've changed out just about all of our Edgemarcs
for them over the last several years.
Great tech support, 10-year hardware warranty, they just work.
Best of all, no "crippleware" where you are forced to pay extra for
turning on a port or exceeding some arbitrary number of calls.

Unless they've recently improved it the Edgewater CLI is painful or
impossible for most configuration tasks. RANCID configuration backup is
very difficult.

Debugs on the Adtran also provide diagnostics and packet capture. The
TA900e series has 4xT1 of which two can be PRI and two ethernet ports.
With VLANs the number of physical ports isn't usually an issue, you'll
typically have a PoE switch in the mix.

Go with the e-series or router-on-a-stick if you need it.

I'm not aware of anything else truly ready for prime time with decent
support other than the various Cisco boxes but the price point there is
usually prohibitive.
