It would only be interesting if you were able to develop drivers for the
various line cards. Without these it would be pointless. And I really
doubt that Cisco would be nice enough to open up their developer docs so
that drivers could be written.
Which leads to the obvious question (and one that I've had for a while,
but now seems an opportune time to ask) of whether or not there is
hardware that is custom-made for, or is well-suited to, the taks of
routing network traffic. I'm going to admit my near-total ignorance
of the subject, and hope someone with the knowledge is interested
enough to answer.
