Just wanted to say thank you all for responding to my original request.
Johnny - the part of the MIB most people posted here makes it less of a black hole; it
tells you the areas, hops and cost the Cisco sees when you are calculating why some area
is going through North America for example. You could ask for a confidential read-only
password from Cisco owners. foobar for mine will continue to work.

If someone can present to me cogent arguments

through loud and clear in a number of these threads), and perhaps offer some guidance and
assistance in the configuration, it's something that I would consider doing.
I can't speak for others, but it is very incorrect to assume any kind of animosity
against Cisco from my remarks about dislike for Cisco here.
It has everything to do with them not speaking NICE.
Imagine it yourself, if you want to troubleshoot something, and in the middle of that
problem is a black box that will not tell you anything. It really makes life harder for
me.
Apart from that, I have no issues with Cisco at all. I'm constantly complaining
towards Paul about omissions, deficiencies and so on in PyDECnet when it comes to NICE as
well. The big difference is that we can get updates on PyDECnet, and it do speak NICE.
I can certainly agree that Python is not a high performance engine. But then again,
HECnet isn't really running much traffic, or expected to deliver high performance.
It's all for fun.
