Vinny vinny vinny... You seem to be allergic to the idea of doing any of own research and it would not surprise me in the slightest to see your next series of questions go something along the lines of: 1. So, what should I do? Please send me a detailed site plan with all cost estimates attached. 2. Can someone come over here and do all this for me while I vacation in the Carribean? :-) My suggestions: 1. Do a net search for Emerging Technologies (or see FreeBSD's commercial entries off the home page) and get their contact information. Say to the nice person who answers: "Uh, can you give me your prices?" 2. Do a net search for SDL communications and do the same. 3. Repeat step 2 for Cisco. Tada! You've now got price information and probably a stack of FAX'd technical data if you also gave the nice sales critters your FAX number and requested data. Requests for empirical data are one thing, but questions about things you're more than capable of answering for yourself strike me as a waste of everyone's time. Thanks! Jordan
