This is my experience also, althought I was able to get my sales 
weasel to say that they might except a 45xx series if it had 
sufficient memory, as some "exceptions" had been granted on a "case 
by case" basis.

As a reseller of IP services they will not manage my router for me, 
but said I still had to have a Cisco(tm) router, even if I'm not 
peering BGP.
