My average config time on any of the Livingstons so far has been about 15min.

If you have a complicated network you can call their tech support ahead of time

and they will set aside additional time to make sure that you get online.

I have only "tried" once to deal with Cisco's support so far and the only

thing the guy could tell me was to buy a book, take classes, or purchase

their SNMP config program which I have only found to run in the mid 3k range.

I can't help but like the Livingston products. The support is excilent and

if you stump them, they will work with you.
