See, I saw the quotes around channel bank more as the follow question "what is a channel bank". Maybe it's a language thing and perhaps the OP can take as constructive criticism to be more to one's actual point when asking a question. If he really did understand what a channel bank is and was looking for recommendations, something more direct like "Any recommendations on which channel bank(s) I should consider using?" would have been much more fruitful I suspect. > Google may be good for getting information but will turn up a good > many ads too. Most of these ads/sites all claim to be the best. "We > are the leaders of (such and such)" Sure, but all of them will give him a good idea of what one actually is, which is really what I suspect the question was. > An obvious pitfall I met was Citel gateways.

I wholeheartedly agree with soliciting for and giving product recommendations and experiences, but questions like "what is ..." most likely can almost always be answered from google with a little effort on one's own behalf. b.
