Interesting from a marketing and sales perspective that one can get people to buy a box, pay for the bandwidth used by the box, and then pay an extra $20/month per phone, all for coverage problems the carrier should address. But then again these carriers have managed to convince people to pay close to a thousand dollars per megabyte for SMS messages. -- Eric Chamberlain, CISSP Chief Technical Officer Voxilla - http://voxilla.com/ _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
