The switch maker is Berkeley Systems. They licensed NT source and stripped it
down (I think the IP stack is one of the things they whacked to run the
switch. With the obvious exception of M$ RRAS, this is AFAIK is the only vendor
using NT as a switch or router OS.

I have to ask WHY!? Surly it would be far nicer to download the Linux

and use that?
What is the point of putting NT on anything but, well, but somebody's
workstation or a server at a push? We already have tons of memory in our
routers without having to add any more
