Well, everyone deserves to be able to make a living. I've always had good
luck with Capella. Are you going to be able to offer the same "solution
support" as them. I'm SURE you're going to be eating into their pocket
pretty damn deep.

You know what I mean. The PM3 pricing was REALLY nice to see, nice and
cheap. hmm, almost as cheap as a unix box with cardinal modems... really
nice delivery too.

See, its easy to make me happy :-).. If it all works as advertised, Its
gonna be 'the bomb' of the ISP world, much like the PM2.

I'm not actually disappointed with Livingston, I just don't like games. My
PM2 has performed nearly flawlessly over the last 6 months. I'd just like
more options without having to either pay out the nose to a programmer
that'll just add personal backdoors, or sit down myself and do it (hey, I'm
a busy guy sometimes)..
