This is one of the few routers that are still in existance from March
2002. 99% of the routers in the configs dir are no longer in operation.
Also, other than Cisco, we also used to have Bay, Redback, etc, and we
no longer even had those Vendors directories anymore... also several of
the newer directories are missing (IE: Catalyst, Juniper, Unisphere)...
I am starting to think I need to just blow it away and start over since
I obviously don't know enough about CVS... all I have ever known about
CVS was how to create new entries, delete old ones, and update and
commit.
Thanks for all the help,
