RE: qwest/JFK meltdown

["Daniel L. Golding" <dan () netrail net>]

That's quite a trick - a problem with VIP2/50's, 12 port DS3 cards and
GigE. VIP2/50s live on 7500s, while 12 port DS3's live on 12000GSRs. GigE
can work (kind of, sort of) on 7500s, but it's on a standalone blade, not
a VIP (it's a GEIP, actually).
