Why do you say that? The PortMaster-3 can handle OSPF and BGP with ease. Customers wanted BGP, we did it. The PM-3 is a fine 2 port router, and with the WAN cards in engineering you could add more WAN ports to it should you want to. People are using MAXen as routers - especially situations where they'll use 2 ports for dial in and 2 for WAN, etc. I don't think it is unreasonable for customers to ask for BGP if they want or need it. -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.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq">http://www.shore.net/~dreaming/ascend-faq</A>> or <<A HREF="ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt">ftp://ftp.shore.net/members/dreaming/ascend-faq.txt</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="msg00254.html">Re: (ASCEND) Max 4000 fireworks crash!</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00253.html">Re[2]: (ASCEND) Disabling internal-NT1 on Ascend P50 UBRI</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00317.html">Re: (ASCEND) Max 4000 fireworks crash!</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00258.html">(ASCEND) 5.0Ai10 ti.m20 load?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="mail3.html#00256"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd11.html#00256"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
