Hi there!
I'm a chick who is a big fan of Nortel networking hardware. One of my favourite things is Nortel's Contivity (now VPN) equipment. I find it is an ultra-robust, well-designed architecture to ensure safe, hacker-free productivity for employees no matter where they are in the world.
Feel free to chat me up about Nortel hardware. I generally am happy to talk, so long as you don't try to rub in my face how you feel Cisco or otherwise is better than Nortel... I will probably just ignore you then! I firmly believe everyone has their own opinions.
