*blink*

I have to say you're way off.  Many routers in the DFZ don't have
linecards that cost less than $150k.  Priced out an OC-192 card for
a T640 lately?  I've helped bring up many routers that cost well
over $2M when you consider the cost of all the cards in them.

A T640, 12416, or CSR-1 are all well over 150k to get the empty
chassis, and have linecards that run $100-$300k each.

I believe the number that panned out would be zero so far, right?
