call up TAC, and get the "AVL list - Authorized Vendor List" for your router. A quick search for AVL on the main site at cisco returned a few interesting pages: "don't do this, we're not responsible, etc." at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/10.html "RAM for RSP or VIP cards" at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/40.html which has links to some great pictures at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/compare.gif and http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/ruler.gif some of the other links talk about the AVL for other products as well. have fun, rob >>>>> On Thu, 24 Sep 1998 12:35:20 -0400 (EDT), Nathan Stratton >>>>> <[email protected]> said: Nathan> On Thu, 24 Sep 1998, Joseph Thomas wrote: >> >> I received prices for upgrading RAM memory in both a Cisco 7000 >> and Cisco 7500.
