[ale] [OT] Atlanta Public Schools RFP "Linux Managed Services"

[Bruce]

And the next question (from reading the RFP) - is what
type of routers and switches are in place, and are
they capable of being monitored/managed via SNMP?

And if not Cisco - what would be a good drop-in
replacement to measure from the central site? 

This could be fun. I have a day job, though.
