[c-nsp] 7600 Questions

[Justin Shore]

Or ES20 linecards (cheaper per port than SPAs but still expensive when 
compared to other Ethernet linecards that can't do VPLS).

Also, you should skip the Sup720-3BXL and get the RSP720-3CXL for the 
same $$.  And you should also get your 67xx linecards with DFCs that 
match the Sup as well.  It's worth the added expense.
