true enough.....i agree the native ios should reach some level of complete
"feature parity" before cisco drops support on catos. for example, before
they tell me sorry can't support catos (as i run hybrid in my distribution
with voice support t1/fxs...etc) i would like the same feature set ported to
native ios. the last i checked they didn't and i'm sure they are other
scenarios that i haven't touched on.

Maybe someone from Cisco can chime in here.

What is the future of the OS for the Cat6500?

CatOS, hybrid, or pure IOS?

I imagine the CatOS will be around for awhile, but it seems to me the
future is pure IOS.  yes? no? maybe?

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
