Nah, that's because Cisco sometimes listens. And, yes, lets the
lowly users to talk to their actual engieers. Or at least used
to.
(Hint - try to find who wrote some particular piece of code in Nortel).

Yes the trouble is trying to find that individual . (IE
they nolonger work there :-{) And the next individual most
familiar with that code area has their own ideas one what
it should be doing which is at least 90-Degree's to what
the original coder had in mind .
That aside I was highly impressed with their use of the MIB's
as command line setable variables . But WOW try typing one
of the longer ones just once & find you mis-typed it .
They never have gotten a command line editor right :-{ JimL
