Once upon a time Jon Lewis shaped the electrons to say...

We're not even going to start playing that game.

We did it ONCE - with the WAN port on the 2ER. It was NEVER meant to be
a full bore router, just a convenience for remote pops.

And we ended up catching tons of shit because it wouldn't handle a full
load - we STILL do.

Same thing would happen when someone tried to run too many ports with
Stac. Uh-uh.
