However, I object to the idea that we start a news group by concentrating on only one vendor's products. Instead, the group could be used as a place to discuss this class of products from any vendor. If the slant happens to wander towards cisco, so be it... I would think that BOTH groups are a good idea. The specialized group for discussing the particular vendor's products, the general group for broader subjects. Currently, this traffic is in comp.dcom.lans, which isn't entirely appropriate. Anyone with a better suggestion? comp.dcom.hardware?
