 I'm extremely suprised that this is their stance.  I'm pressed to find a
technical reason behind such a requirement.  The 7000 is a Motorola 68XXX
based system, and the 4500/4700 is a risc based system.  There have been
performance tests that have shown that the 45/47 boxes out perform the 
7000 boxes.  I'd be very interested in hearing Sprints' reasoning on this.


  And don't even THINK about using a 75xx!  :-)

? On another subject, does anyone know of a source showing the
  hardware/software of choice at different NAPs?

  It would be interesting to see what percent is Cisco (>90%), Bay,
  *BSD, and etc....
