RE: Linux Router KIT

[Chris Mauritz <chrism () raremedium com>]

What do you mean?  For folks with 7200/7500 series routers, one ethernet
interface is priced at a very reasonable <turn head and cough> $5k list
price.  :-(

The minute some company comes out with a rationally priced alternative to
the 7500 series Ciscos, and assuming cisco doesn't immediately buy them, I
think we'll all be the happier for it.

I actually priced out the 24x7 smartnet prices for a couple of loaded 7206's
and it was cheaper just to buy a spare router to gut for parts.
