I wanted a Cisco, but didn't want to pay full Cisco prices, so I went  
to ebay for mine. :) I found a seller there has several 857Ws up with  
free shipping for $289 or best offer, and he accepted an offer for  
$260. UPS says it should be here Friday, so I can let you know if  
everything was on the level afterward.

Heh, I'm sure Cisco isn't on there not because of compatibility  
reasons, but because they don't want to train their support staff or  
hire CCNAs. :)
