Speaking of RAM.  We just got an estimate for how much Foxboro would charge
to upgrade our 4 WP's and 1 AW to 256 MB of RAM.  It was on the order of
$20K plus.  We all know materials is 1/20 of the total installed cost.  My
question is since RAM is readily available what would Foxboro's stance be if
we upgraded ourselves?  We have a service agreement with them.  Would it be
all bets are off or would RAM problems be unsupported or would all future
problems be blamed on RAM?  Maybe I shouldn't ask but I find this cost
ridiculous.  It would be a tremendous performance boost but I can't justify
it as a stand alone upgrade.  We are going to have to tie it to a software
upgrade to capitalize it.
