That's just awesome. Far cry from our new "lean and mean" products. As I've said before, I'm still looking for the "mean". But since the equipment didn't belong to the end user back in the day (that's what I heard), it was in the telco's best interest to have stuff that doesn't break, since it would be them picking up the tab if it did.
But come to think of it, in the world of the ISP's, the modems and routers etc are often rented equipment as well, but they kind of suck most of the time, so I'm a little confused.
