Then they shouldnt be using the internet for a few more years ;)

Yes you can failover your mail server, but your core linux routers are
another story and thats where hotswap really counts. Customers can
tolerate short mailserver outages but they cant tolerate short router
outages.
Then they shouldnt be using the internet for a few more years ;)

Am I right in assumming that 2.2.14 (as from RH6.2) supports cPCI? Or do I
need to start developing on 2.4?
