My understanding - and this may well be wrong :-) - is that the fundamental difference between the bigiron and netiron product is a licensing issue rather than a technical one (with the exception of memory...). The hardware is largely identical. The difference between the BI and NI chassis - apart from labelling - is a single chip on the backplane, which identifies the unit and controls which modules/code can be used on that chassis. Disclaimer: This may be nonsense. I did ask Foundry about this some time ago, and ended up thoroughly confused :-) Bruce. -- Bruce Rodger |Bruce.Rodger at strath.ac.uk PGP key available Network Manager, IT Services |http://www.strath.ac.uk/IT/People/bruce.html The University of Strathclyde | +44 (0)141 548 3300 Glasgow G4 0LN, Scotland. | Fax 553 4100
