Agreed, general use optics shouldn’t cost you more than $300, and that is being quite generous. If you wanted to program your own optics, apparently you can get one of these new raspberry pis: http://eoinpk.blogspot.com/2014/05/raspberry-pi-and-programming-eeproms-on.html It includes a link at the bottom for how to program the optics to be ‘cisco compatible’. - Jared _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
