Curious why cisco recommends to upgrade rommon if it works also on older version ?! My guess: so they have a simple reason to throw the ball back in your court when insert problem here happens. -Randy ___ cisco-nsp mailing list

Where amongst the new-fangled download manager can we find the latest ROMMON's for these cards, and in fact those also for the sup720 on the 7600? I was off looking for ROMMONs for the sup720 last night, and it seems that many of the files for the 7600 are sprinkled amongst the 6500 software
