It would seem you _REALLY_ get off on screwing with anyone that does not
think the same way you do. If you would like to carry-on a flame war with
me, why don't we take it off list.

No, it doesn't. It does, however, fully integrate with BGP4-enabled
routers -- Cisco, Juniper, Lucent, Nortel, Foundry, Riverstone, etc...

Thanks for the pointers; already covered though. IRIS does work just fine
with Cisco gear and, just like most other network gear CLIs, the IRIS CLI
should act similar to IOS.

Four of the five founders of Opnix (including myself) are "engineer
types."

It seems someone with a marketing degree must have pissed in your
Cheerio's or something. Like any other group of people, there are both
good and bad within the group. Like I said, engineering and marketing
usually don't mix well. We all know that. We get plenty of opportunities
to flame marketing and sales people for SPAM on lists -- we probably don't
need to put any more effort into it. :)

Again, if you want to have a flame-war, let's take it off-list.
