I am happy with them we have 14 in our network right now. Yes they have
some small problems, but Ascend GRF tech support is the best I have seen.
We have some new Cisco stuff on the way, and in a few weeks will know if
we are going to ditch GRF and with with Cisco. So far we are still 100%
cisco free, but that may change in a few weeks.

Try the GRF, it is a nice box.
