I generally recommend not using TMDA for several reasons, but I realize that
it can be useful in some circumstances. That being said, I have installed
and configured TMDA on a toaster on a contract basis. Please contact me off

FWIW, I don't recall having to use preline at all. That might have been due
to the way TMDA was implemented though.
