 Yeah, in 199x, again, when I was Concentric/XO.  For a colo site with about 100 boxes and a few ISDNs.. oh how I hated the Pipes.  ASN2828.  6509 isn't as impressive as it used to be.  It's a big underpowered, overvolted fridge.  Might as well be a fucking VAX.  Who cares?  Stop trying to impress the idiots with shit virtually anyone who's at a colo has managed for them.
Disclaimer:  No, I don't believe Tear2 handles their own routing, they "outsource" that.  It's much cheaper than having staff on call.  I know, I used to be one.  Then again, I'm just a single host wonder right now, what the fuck do I care that you manage your own copy of IOS.  Woop-de-doodle fuck.  Stop with the 'ignorance is more' advertising.. Fuck, that's twice in two days.
