[c-nsp] IOSW vs JunOS

[Kaj Niemi]

Hi,


The VPN Concentrators were originally produced by Altiga which Cisco  
then acquired. And yes, the telnet interface was/is horrible. The best  
part with the boxes was the reliability (once installed you rarely had  
to mess with them except for sw upgrades) and the fact that it could  
pull most user/group configuration from RADIUS at login time. :)
