I fail to see how using linksys's range of products is going to be =
comparable to enterprise grade cisco gear. Well, your average consumer =
wouldn't be involved with a CRS or for that matter, anything that =
remotely resembles a CRS. Not sure why you'd pull the consumer market =
into this marketing hype that cisco is going on about.=20
