I'm not running Foundry currently, but I was instrumental in getting my
rather large company to switch from being Cisco-only to Foundry about three
years ago.  The stories I could tell about their customer service could
amaze you*.  Sure, they were cheaper and faster than Cisco.  But their
support ruled! :)

the CEO and expedited this request.  We expect to have it in 8-12 weeks.
Meanwhile, would you please allow us to loan you the equipment to tide you
over until the feature's available?")
