The M7i is supposed to compete with the Cisco 7100/7200. It is designed as 
a provider managed CPE for DS3 and OC3 level customers. At least that is 
the niche they are targeting. It will come in two flavors - integrated dual 
port 100Base-T or single GigE. It also has an optional service engine for 
firewall, VPN, IDS, etc. which plugs into the SCB/FPC. I don't think they 
have been released into production yet, but I could be wrong.
