Afraid, Kernel Sanders? ;-)

Actually it is this 'it's not important' attitude that causes way too much problems
for those work with such things. I'll stop now as this could be a very long rant.

How about 26 Cisco 7600's fully loaded and dual power supplies?

Martin donated a 6500 (same as the 7600 basically) that could handle
your switching/routing needs (and then some). I think we need to wait
a bit longer before we can really put it to work. There currently isn't
enough of a load to work with it.
