This is probably true. I would also hazzard a guess that most of the people buying used Cisco gear don't have a clue that they don't have a software license. There are also some that DO know, but don't care if they are violating the license. That's a little too risky for me though. For those of you in smaller shops, the HP procurve switches are quite nice and have "lifetime" support and downloadable updates without needing to "register". Don't know if they have POE versions which VOIP implementors may be interested in however. You can also get a fully managed 24 port layer 3 HP switch for about $200 on ebay. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
