grrr, since when does someone have to have a damned pay per year service
contract to f---ing download basic client software, let alone firmware
upgrades to correct errors, etc. on a bay networks/nortel device? i see now
why nortel has not been doing so well in the industry lately. would anyone
know an easier way to obtain the DCM software and the latest software for a
BayStack 50x hub with DCM and fiber MDA for RI/RO?
