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 :-] Jordan
