Yeah in a year you will be able to get a Furby, a complete set of Magic cards, and a Google IPO ticket for under a buck.

Yeah listing them is one thing knowing what they do is another. I am saying when you have 350 resumes for a network engineer spot, a couple OSPF questions will tell you which 30 to call in for a face to face. The problem is alot of people have certs and claim to be senior level but really aren't. That IS the problem with this industry.
WOW! What great information on WANizing a BSD box! Thank you very much for the links.
Asterik is a wonderful little system that I have been a fan of for quite a while. I cannot wait until it can support the large type of environment I generally build and support.
VoATM and VoFR is really not a big deal when you get into it, just a few extra caveats to watch out for once you have a solid understanding of VOIP.
I do feel the need to blast out one rant: I wish people could understand the difference between: Voice over IP, IP Telephony, Voice over Internet, and channelized toll bypass. VoIP and IP Telephony get such a bad rap on/. and elsewhere when people are using non QOS devices across an uncontrolled media to try to deliver voice packets in a timely manner over the internet. End rant, my apologies to all innocent bystanders.
Sounds like the 515 with a failover bundle. Every fault tolerance mechanism is designed to overcome some potential scenario. You wouldn't bitch if you had two system disks in a mirror and your motherboad getting a power spike killed your system would you? It is not a logical assumption that because you have some level of fault tolerance you will never experience downtime, it's not magic.
I constantly have to deal with people who have been oversold on Cisco and what it can do for them. These perceptions are not uncommon, but people need to take some action to get things fixed.
Too bad somebody didn't go to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/ or call 1-800-553-2447 and get a updated version of code rather than live with the problem day in and day out. Be sure to have your contract number or serial number ready when you call.
Or my favorite interview question: "please list all of OSPF's LSA types and what they do." You can pretty much work through a big pile of resume's really fast with that one alone.
I don't worry too much about the routers, exploits have been in the wild for years without too many people scripting for them. I deploy some software for Cisco that runs on a 2000 server, been hit twice with viruses on production boxes. It will be sometime before the IOS devices are nearly as easy of a the target of those servers.
Perhaps you can help me. I would like a bsd box that can terminate 200 802.1Q vlans, two ATM modules for load balancing FROATM links, eight T1's, and some PRI's used as part of a VOATM/VOFR network between pbx's around the world. Which cards can I buy to do this in a PCI form factor?
Not to call you out, but you are pretty screwed when it comes to routers, honestly Juniper is the only other choice for most of this scenario. Honestly Cisco is the best / only choice for many environments. Personally I like Juniper for the Nettoons http://www.juniper.net/nettoons/
That rules out most routers, and most switches. If you have followed best practices in your deployment, no internet edge device should be running OSPF so that shouldn't be a consideration, basically it should boil down to who within the company is trying to crash your routers?
What a great time to post a link to www.routergod.com! Here are the two parts of Seven of Nine's lecture on OSPF:
Damn, I suppose I should turn in my license plate "2l3374u" now...
You did forget to mention all the hours of hacking on modems to get them working, followed by day after day of busy tone when trying to dial that one server with "the good stuff" because it only had one phone line into it.
Just one month short of its seventh birthday,./ suddenly and unexpectedly died today of bad karma.
One bewildered passerby speculated that the problems origin could be a flaw in the/code not being able to compensate for the potential risk of a./er not knowing who Chewbacca is, or how to spell his name.
In response to these questions a man claiming to be a senior naval official made the following statement: "It isn't our fault that./ died today, six years ago even the improbability drive could not have calculated the odds of a "geek" not knowing EVERYTHING about Star Wars. More confusing yet was absence of a follow-up post apologizing to Peter Mayhew and George Lucas... inconceivable!"
An interesting read is Caleb Carr's "Lessons on Terror" where he goes into detail on the downfall of many of the great empires. It doesn't as easilly come down to what you think.
This should give you one persons take on Robert Heinlein's book "Starship Troopers" It is a great book that would be an alternative future to the snazzy Star Trek version that became popular shortly later. I love the early cold war feel to it, gritty, real...
Yeah I walked out of the midnight showing shaking my head. I just kept muddering to my girlfriend that the book wasn't like that, and it should have been anime...
My favorite part was the description of the drops, reading book that was my first step torwards airborne school (after 35 drops I still get anxious when I read that book, it's AWESOME!) Even Aliens had a better drop scene and that was in an RV or something!
General: Why are all our soldiers so sad and depressed all the time? Why won't they reenlist?
driver: Is it because they get shit on all the time?
General: I don't know, those soldiers seem happy to be soldiers. They seem like door kicking madmen.
driver: Yes those are door kicking madmen, they are Rangers, you can tell by the black beret.
General: Oh I see, why don't we give everybody a black beret?
driver: Sir, I think they are happy to be Rangers, and they were a black beret, not they are Rangers who are happy because they get to were a black beret.
General: Nonsense, what do you know I have four stars, I have been in this uniform for 30 years, I will tell you if everyone had a black beret we would have great moral. I am going to the DoD tomorrow!
or something like that.... all I know is that boonies are good, berets are bad. Berets mean weird sunburns over half you face and an unescapable glare from the sun. Yeah I am sure that Joe has something new to bitch about now god love em.

Looks like the first bid was for 500 shares at 55$ but nobody dumped stock on that one. Should be an interesting day!

I remember Cisco used to be about 85$....
