Firstly, AlphaCom's website (such as it is) is at http://206.21.228.27/. There's no technical data there (don't bother looking); all that's visible is their Compensation Plan and about ten FAQ's. If AlphaCom or one of their Independant Distributors wants to put a unit and technical details in the hands of someone that's in a covered area, then I'm sure we could have support happening in no time flat. mike
