<DIV>since your running the 6608 you must have Cat 65xx boxes. why are
you looking at 3845s rather then the CMM blade? your port density and
conferencing is awesome. The thing has just works for us.</DIV>

<DIV text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff">that is a mixed bag. IF you got
the 6608 to work (registration, c6k backplane issues, echo) then it was set
it and forget it. However, there was terrible serviceability to help
get it working or figure out why it broke.<BR><BR>On the sentimental road, I
always had a soft spot for the dt-24+. True, it could be a bit fickle
about getting a DHCP address occasionally, but otherwise it was the first
Cisco product to offer 24 or 32 msec ecan, well before it was available in
6608 or IOS. It was also TRIVIAL to configure. Back in the day
it was heresy to recommend a PC board over a Cisco box, but it worked when
IOS/6608 folks could not fathom why anyone would truly need more that 16msec
of ecan coverage.<BR><BR>/Wes<BR><BR>Lelio Fulgenzi wrote:
