And thank you for that. :) I deployed a large number of these way back when (the full router version, which isn't much different from the /TS), they're really amazing machines in many ways.
Like I said, right person. :-)
One of the founders of Cisco lives up the road from me. I'm sure he'll want to be in on setting that up.
I wonder if he knows the trick to flip the bit to allow the device to be both a router and a TS. There was some trick to it and unfortunately the person I know who knew it has passed away. :(
It does have an interesting problem, when running it sounds like a leaf blower (and it can move all the paper work off your desk). This was the way it was designed. It was meant for DC rack space when it was designed.
Yes, the blower in the AGS is somewhat legendary!
I had one of these on my desk in our Hadley Rd support center (I did network support for AT&T). I could get everything to work properly but OSI (DECNet PhV). That alway seems to break MS SMB stuff. I had one customer who had IBM hardware, DEC, Vines, XNS, PUP, IP and Novel 2.0. It was actually pretty cool to see him login to the mainframe and then proceed to run processes with pipes and redirection across multiple machine (IBM, DEC and Unix). He was mostly a mainframe person but totally understood the 'Unix way'. His environment was extremely well integrate to the terminal. This was before SSH. Sorry about the trip down memory lane, those were some fun times. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
