Am I the only person that is (not really of course!) tempted to put on official-looking clothing and confidently walk in with a laptop and Cisco console cable, nonchalantly telling the librarian their "Internet box" "needs a service upgrade".
And then quietly replace it (after dumping the config and replicating the configuration) with a $100 half-depth Supermicro server bought off Ebay, running OpenBSD?
And then walk out, like the Grinch after he artfully puts Cindy Lou Who to bed, with a nice new 3945 for my own use?
EDIT: forgot to mention, I need a CF card reader also to get the config off the Cisco flash.

- c4urself 14y agoThinking the exact same thing -- there are plenty of libraries to choose from...
- smithian 14y agoIf you then sold the router on the second-hand market and gave the money to the library to spend on materials that they actually needed, your plan could do some real good.
- doughj3 14y agoConsidering you're talking about pulling the config off flash, which is where the OS and not the config is stored, I'm not too worried about what you plan to do.
