Just a thought. Perhaps if you are calling them for support in "setting
UP" a network, you might be in the wrong business. This might be an
oddity, but I do not like to charge people for something that I don't
allready know how to do. Ie) If you don't know how to set up a
portmaster, perhaps you should open a manual before you click on the pay
meter.

Perhaps the problem lies more with yourself than livingston. But then
again, I don't know the issues... except for the fact that you are
requiring livingston to "set up " your network?

Hardly their job, IMHO.
