Nortel Contivity

[Misha]

I have recently made a bold move and decided to choose the Nortel
Contivity as a VPN platform we will support in addition to Cisco. I really
have no other reason other than the fact that I really like the product. I
have some questions for people with existing Nortel experience:

1) I still can't put a name with the company. Is Nortels sales
organization just paralyzed or do they just not have any sales people? I
keep offering them money, but they are just not interested.

2) Has anyone used the Optivity VPN management software for the Contivity
line? I can't find much information on it, but it looks promising.

3) Any idea why Nortel continues to avoid any magazine tests? I really
dont care much about the outcome, because those things are usually a bit
skewed, but the fact that Nortel refuses participation worries me.

4) Any experience with Nortel's support of the product? I am looking for
both technical support and a variation of Cisco SmartNET.
