I spoke to a salesperson there as I immediately saw that it did many things that we need done for our T1 and "smart building" customers, but I've been unsuccessful in getting any info about whether it will (I know it technically *can*) do ether-ether routing in areas where we deliver via ethernet. They also mentioned a "T1" model was in Beta... The problem is, I can't get them to sell us one. Anyone have a good sales contact there?
