Hi,
	We are in the process of evaluating routers for our network,
	which is a reasonably complicated one.  We currently use IP
	(of course), XNS, Ethertalk, Decnet, etc., etc.  We have a
	Cisco which is performing quite well, but seems much more
	expensive than the competing Wellfleet models.  We would
	like to get input from user's of both of these routers about
	the company's responsiveness, the performance, and the
	capabilities of the routers.  Our eventual goal is to
	use these routers to form an FDDI backbone and to route
	onto multiple ethernets.

	Thanks in advance,
