I was going to suggest Jukka email bri...but I figured he reads the lists
too.

My guess is he meant he got the following prices from www.livingston.com:

US List US ISP Best price he could get from his nearest distributor
$20434 $11,086 $18260

I went to the Livingston web site to see if I could confirm these prices,
but funny thing, the ISP price list on the PM3 series seems to be gone.
Is Livingston going to dump the ISP special prices before the PM3's even
ship? That would reak of Bill Gates vaporware. Hype the product/prices
to hurt the competition, and then jack up the prices. I hope this is just
a case of Megazone forgetting to put the ISP prices link into the new
pages, or me just being unable to find my way back to that page.
