For those saying Cisco is so great, it's still fucked up pretty bad.  IOS
12.1 and later doesn't allow an MTU > 1460 on L2TP, while 12.0.7(T) works
fine with a 1492 MTU that my PPPoE customers expect.  Every rev I've tried
from 12.0 and up has problems with CEF when using ISL VLAN sub-interfaces,
and without CEF, mac-accounting is screwed up.

Now if they charged 1/5th of what they do, I'd say you're getting
reasonable value for your dollar...
