And Sun uses SPARCstations, and I'll bet other vendors use their own
boxes as well.  The fact that a vendor uses their own boxes as routers
does NOT imply that they are _good_ routers...  There's a matter of
image involved (not to mention that it's a lot cheaper to get a
machine via internal transfer from manufacturing than to actually go
out and _buy_ something).
