RE: Cisco 7200 + NPE-G1 / 7301

["Neil J. McRae" <neil () DOMINO ORG>]

I'd stick with what you know unless you plan to terminate hundreds
of thousands of things in which case cisco isn't a great choice. They
two platforms are similar but 7301 is relatively new. Anything new from
cisco
I recommend to avoid for atleast a year so that you aren't an alpha
tester.
