This is what the CISCO-Support told me too.
I have downloaded tons of PDF's... 
But I think, I need an Army to reed it all !

(I was on the Website of RIPE but does not understood all well)

Yes I know...

I had only a small CyberCenter-Network Project with some WaveLAN 
AccessPoints but now the Idea is exploding and now it overrun me... 

My brain is smoking (my ADSL-Rooter and mozilla too) because I am 
working curently 15-18 hours a day

OK, I know. Have gotten a used CISCO which support four OC-3 with BGP-4.
