Three points about Shasta; 1) Shasta was a good idea, but it had a limited life span because they did not evolve the software 2) Nortel could not evolve the software because it was poorly written and they did not understand it, having serious quality and support problems from the get-go. 3) Nortel did not do their homework before they bought the company and their entrenched management drove anyone who knew anything about Shasta away, making doing anything about items 1 or 2 orders of magnitude harder. Corriene, I agree. Three points about Shasta;

1) Shasta was a good idea, but it had a limited life span because they did not evolve the software
2) Nortel could not evolve the software because it was poorly written and they did not understand it, having serious quality and support problems from the get-go.
3) Nortel did not do their homework before they bought the company and their entrenched management drove anyone who knew anything about Shasta away, making doing anything about items 1 or 2 orders of magnitude harder.

MPE... Nortel could have done so much better if they hadn't have made such a mess of their Service Edge Router business. Can anyone say Shasta?
