I agree. DCW is very fast. They are also expensive, difficult to order from, and make frequent mistakes, in my experience. I have used them a lot. MilesTek is not quite as fast but they are easier to deal with, have better prices, and don't make mistakes, again in my experience. When I need it overnight and I don't care what it costs I call DCW. When I don't need it overnight I call MilesTek. Maybe if DCW didn't send me a shiney new catalog every single week of the year they would have better prices. :-) -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
