I have a network of about 95% all Cisco equipment. It's not a large
network, but we do have numerious switches, routers, PIX, etc. The
largest model we have is a 6509. We have around 100 various devices
from Cisco.

We are replacing a portion of our network due to age. I realize
$200,000 US may not be a lot to a company like Cisco, but why would
they refuse to get us a quote? Our first VAR has taken almost 2 months
and still will not get me a quote. We have tried 2 other VARs, one
being CDW. No quote. The last I heard, all the Cisco reps were at a
conference in Vegas.

Seems to me it's time to dump my Cisco stock and look elsewhere.
Anyone else having these problems with Cisco? (We are a half a billion
+ /year company that is doing well and have good credit.)

I work for a Cisco VAR and we don't take that long to turn around a
quote. Sometimes it takes a while to negotiate down to the rock-bottom
deviation from Cisco for a large order but your sales person should
still be communicating status updates to you. There are always other
VARs.
