Anyday! Peter, could you please expand on why you prefer Cisco? I need a router to handle our modest expansion (we are going from one outbound T1 to adding 2 T1s to customers for starters, and one ethernet segment) I am planning on building a router with a P133, BSDI 2.1, 64MB Ram, SDL Riscomm N2CSU cards. This router will cost me $3500 for the best components I can buy. A Cisco 4000 has a 33 or 40 MHz processor and will cost me well over $10,000 to get started. I would like to hear the opinions of those who know Cisco or better yet, both Cisco and BSDI in making this choice. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to hear from anyone on this!
