Network Routing without Cisco or Juniper?

A supplier I don't think I'm at liberty to name. When they were good,
  they were very, very good. But when they were bad they were horrid.

Another supplier I don't wish to name. Mostly worked, but crashed if
  you made even the slighest configuration change.

I'm guessing one of them is Ascend and the other Lucent

I don't know the first one. You're wrong about the second one.
