It would be uncharted territory for them and there are certainly more ideal scenarios I could imagine for a tech support org, but they also probably have a better "core" of engineers on tap than anyone (myself, dg, mike, etc) and given that they already have a payroll dept, medical plan, insurance and all the other dozen things you're going to need if you want to hire 4 or 5 people and put them on the phones to provide "primary" support, it makes it just that much easier to contemplate. Any figures out there on "median pricing" of tech support contracts, both email-only and email + phone-in? Do people see a serious demand for on-site engineering visits as well? > Have you spoken to the bsd programming team yet?
