Although we use them in great abundance here, I'd never to so far as to call the Ascend Pipelines *good* routers. Their sole routing protocol is RIPv1 and their routing table doesn't fully support classless addressing yet. For home and small offices they're tolerable, but for anything more serious I'd prefer a solid ISDN card or TA on a sync serial port under one of the source-available *BSDs. -- Robert -- MindSpring: use us and nobody gets hurt.
