I agree - I was kind of impressed when I read this.  What's that make
a 4 modem increment cost, about $1500 all in?  I don't know what kind
of modem cards are being used here so that's just a WAG.  I've never
purchased a terminal mux, either, so I don't even know if this would
be competitive?  Do you have these guys set up to advertise the modems
at some IP port range as well for outgoing stuff, or is that purely
incoming?  You could do some interesting resource pooling with a few
cooperating daemons..   Hmmmm...  [stares off into space for awhile :-]
