Last time I bought a PA-MC-T3, I paid $4700.00 and that is a GREAT price.
They usually sell for $5k+ Two years ago, I sold some extras for
$1500-2000/ea. They have more than doubled in price. The PA-MC-2T3 cards
are going for $10-12k used now! I bought them in 2000 and 2001 for $4500 each.

So... Everyone always says Juniper is so great. How does one get a
legitimate copy of JunOS and a software support contract. I have called and
emailed Juniper at least 3-4 times via each method and never received any
response regarding getting a license for a used router. I would like to buy
a used M5/10/20/40 just to play with it so I can learn more about them and
how they work. We are interesting in the scalability and the cheap PIC
cards available for the Juniper gear - especially the channelized DS3
interfaces. Does anyone have a useful contact or number for software
maintenance at Juniper? I don't want to spend $5-10k on used Juniper gear
if I can't get an OS to run on it. Any Juniper lovers care to help? TIA!
