2nded, I tried for months to get Ericsson to get us a quote and sort
us out with a solution as I'd used their kit and liked it in the past.

Exactly as Tim said, they just didn't seem interested if you're not
after a big $$ solution.

We went with ASR1k as cisco came to the party on price and we were already 
using 7200 at the time.  No complaints.
