That's a trick question. There isn't a working version of Site Manager :-)

It does have usable BCC though. It has one last customer on it who for 
various weird commercial and historical reasons still takes a HSSI 
service from us at a POP we have otherwise abandoned. As soon as they 
give up, it's gone.

Slightly more back on topic, all of our long-running systems are 
generally cut short by power issues (or being physically moved) rather 
than something of their own making. My friend the ASN would have had 
nearer 10 years uptime had the telco where it's collocated not tested 
their power system one morning, for example. Otherwise we'd have plenty 
of kit like RAS platforms with huge uptimes.
