Redback should be good stuff, if they didn't get one that someone drug out of a dumpster. > Apparently the need is for something that can handle 2000 sessions > and has full 100Mbps NICs and can support that speed.

Butch? or other MT experts? > Or is this requirement way out of the MT league? I have heard of 8,000 sessions terminated on a Cisco 7200VXR with an NPE-G1. I currently have just over 1,700 PPPoEoATM sessions on our used VXR doing about 28Mbps of DSL traffic and our backhaul running about 50Mbps for all of our services (DSL/Wireless/Hosting/Dialup) and it's not working hard. To do that on a PC, with as high an expectation of reliability, I'd probably have spent close to the same amount of money to get high grade, highly redundant parts. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
