comes 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.
