- We have 3 7171s and except for 1 warranty problem with a switch and a
- bizarre series where ibm replace cards and then removed all of them and
- the box worked again as magically as it broke we have had no service and
- save over $27k. A recent maintenance bid got a price of $62/mo. from non
- IBM and $23x from IBM.
