[nsp] 6509 + MFSC2 + CAR ?

[Richard J. Sears]

Yes - I did read that - however there is a difference of opinion in
relation to if any of it works at all. 

On one hand, I have people telling me that the 6509 does not support any
type of shaping/rate limiting/etc, and then I have people telling me
that it does.

What I am asking for is an example of a working config - thats all.

I have yet to see one that actually works leading me to believe that the
folks who have told me it simply does not work are correct.

Thanks
