Well, the GRF has its good and bad points.  I've tested one rather
extensively, although I admit it was some time (~8-9 months) ago.

I've been rather upset with Ascend over their lack of reaction to the bug
in the Pipe 150 that had it publishing ARP statments for every ip address
that went by its ethernet interface. Have you found their other products
to be better supported and safer to fire and forget?

The GRF started as a product from another company (Netstar?) that
Ascend bought, and it has a different software base.

That said, I have no personal experience with the GRF and don't know
if it works well. It just looks neat from what I can tell.
