Got any specific models?

Yep, we had a Nortell Passport router installed by SBC.  Gack!  Replaced that
piece of scrap with a Cisco.  Are those things running M$-DOS internally or
what?  I've never seen such a TERRIBLE configuration and management interface -
I mean what diseased mind desgined those things?  And performance?  Switching to
a Cisco router increased throughput ***30%***.  I mean "Holy Cow!".
