Agreed, they actually have about 20 different models in just the 2500 line.
With Cisco you do pay partially for the price (whats new with that in this
world?) but you pay for usefulness. I have long trashed using Livingston's
as routers when they screw up and have HUGE frame-relay bugs that take
months to fix which causes an entire POP to fail - not good.
Cisco configuration is simpiler than one would think, it has a simple setup
feature which lets you get it going with just a few questions.
Once you learn the commands, you can configure an entire router in less than
10-15 minutes. You can configure them to do anything you would like.
Livingston is just now barely catching up on some really useful features
that Cisco has had all along (like subinterfaces and multiple ip addresses
on Ethernet.
