When the ex2200C came out, I considered it as a Metro-E CPE / demarc device. It was missing to many features for that role at the time and lost out to devices targeted for that market such as the T-marc 340 or an ADVA FSP(?). As much as disliked working on the T-marcs, they were cheap and it was easy enough to dump a template on it and never touch them again. -- Regards, Craig Askings io Networks Pty Ltd. mobile: 0404 019365 phone: 1300 1 2 4 8 16 _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
