First off, the crisco 2500 series use 68030 chips and the 7000 uses a
68040 chip. So I don't see them using better chips...
One thing for sure, I like doing a sho conf on a cisco and seeing all
my configs. The portmasters aren't as clean buy you can learn how they are put
together in a short amount of time....
oh well..
