Agreed. I know nothing about the pricing but last time I had a problem with BGP, it only took a few minutes to get someone with enable and clue, calling their general support number posted on their website. The problem was on their end and it was fixed while I was on the phone. Arguably one of the fastest response times I've ever had with a vendor. -Paul On Sun, 2003-08-31 at 20:40, Daniel Golding wrote: > Level(3) is generally very good.
