I think Ascend is the last vendor to switch their proprietary stuff over to Vendor Specific Attributes. If all vendors did that, there wouldn't be a clash. If the standard conflicts with a vendor, the vendor is in the wrong - period. And with VSAs vendors can't conflict with each other. If all vendors used the tools available, this wouldn't be an issue. -MZ -- Livingston Enterprises - Chair, Department of Interstitial Affairs Phone: 800-458-9966 510-737-2100 FAX: 510-737-2110 megazone@livingston.com For support requests: support@livingston.com <<A HREF="http://www.livingston.com/">http://www.livingston.com/</A>> Snail mail: 4464 Willow Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588 ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11274.html">Re: (ASCEND) anyone know if bri bug is fixed yet?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11270.html">(ASCEND) 5.0Ap36 release notes</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11282.html">Re: (ASCEND) 5.0Ap36 release notes</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11279.html">(ASCEND) Multi Linking/ Load Balancing</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#11273"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd261.html#11273"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
