James,

I'm sorry, but to little old me it's not obvious why this (or any
feature for which the PM-3 hardware is capable of supporting, or PM-2
series for that matter) feature will be available first.

Last I knew, the PM-3 was Lucingston's primary development
platform, and as such, new features could be expected there first. Has
this changed? Likewise, last I knew the PM-4 wasn't mature yet, in that
it didn't have the redundant system manager modules in full support,
address pools that can cleanly utilize VLSM and available IP address
space, etc. Is the PM-4 getting feature priority before it is a platform
that the ISPs I handle can put their faith in?

Pete
