Thanks for the info. I used to write diagnostics for Cisco, for the 7200 and 7500 routers, so I'm pretty intimately familiar with the hardware, but I'd never checked out the prices before this discussion came up. Since there's more logic in your typical PC than in the 7200, it's a remarkable thing that people actually paid $50,000 and up for it.
