Did you try the Nortel Documentation homepage? I am guessing all the
documentation that is available would be there. You may have to get full
access to the Shasta documents by sending an email and configuring your
browser for digital certificates, but it's worth the process.

Very interesting. Can you be more specific? "nice features", like what?
What do you mean by "content management"? How would this be more
scalable than competitors to the product, i.e. how does it match up to
specific Cisco or Redback products? I'd really appreciate an example
with the config or something equally interesting... :>

Have you checked out the competitive products in that range?
Cisco ESR 10008, 10005, Cisco 6400 UAC, Redback, etc?
