Cisco Equipment Record Uptime

[Harold Ritter]

Hi everybody,

I just received this from a customer, who thinks this might be a record uptime for a Cisco device. Anybody can beat this ;-)

Regards

6 ethernet and 2 serial interfaces.  Wow.  I wonder what this router is doing?

16  mb DRAM.  LOL.  Nostalgia!

[paolo bevilacqua]

I've seen various of these reports over the years, but it seems to me this one beats them all!
