You got to be kidding or you got to be so stupid not to recognize it. We
bought _new_ PM2's a month or two ago. Lucent has a product they
still sell. They need to support products they sell. There a couple of
issues and a lot of missing features on the PM2 platform (and on the OR's
too).

Where should I start? Horrible ISDN bugs on ISDN modules (ISDN going down
twice a day, anyone? - and no, it's not a telco problem - Lucent has a
pile of debug logs from me and they are just sitting on them and
scratching their heads it seems). No OSPF over dialup (ISDN backup for
frame relay anyone?). PMVision support. NAT. I could go on and on.

If _you_ don't use PM2's or OR's, don't assume nobody else does. Not
everybody lives in the United States and has 10 PM3's in every POP.

Geez...
