Cheers Raphael - Wasnt aware of the vrf complexities.....this would hurt us significantly, as 70-80% of our DSL tails are in vrf's

Software LNS are a good solution if you only need basic features. If you want to separate user in vrf/context it was a bit more complicated, as you have to dedicate instance by vrf. but nothing impossible. So the choice is as always, a relative expensive, but good hardware platform, or a home solution which need much more engineering. Or you can mix the two approach, I got a friend who handle 10K of subscribers using a cluster of X c890 if I remember correctly.
