<IBM would never buy Cisco equipment, I am not surprised they choose Juniper's. IBM's Networking Division has lost time after time every time they compete with Cisco. Only took them 10 years to understand that fast ethernet is here to stay... > From my conversations, the network is primarily CSCO equipment. IBM used to EOM cascade equipment, also. They don't appear to be hung up on the "only invented here" philosophy. My wife has been in a CSCO configuration class since yesterday, is there today and tomorrow, as a matter of fact. The equipment depends on where in the network, what country, etc. It is a huge network and remember, the network was primarily built under Advantis, which had 30% ownership by Sears. Kent
