How far off am I then? :) 200%? 400%?

|If you look at the product architecture it is a LOT more than off the

I never said lashed together hardware. Stop putting words in my mouth.
If you think that 486/66 cpus, siemens controllers, analog devices
dsps, 72pin simms etc are custom then by all means keep thinking so.
You are missing my point here. I *LIKE* that Livingston is using
inexpensive, easily available parts because in the long run it will
allow the company *I* invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in
hardware in to be competitive. It is NOT an easy proposition changing
what network vendor you use every 6 months. We committed to PM3s for
a REASON, and honestly the box delivers everything I want at this
time.

|Patience, patience.
Oh, I have patience :-) I am quite content with dual PRI boxes that
aren't heat burners for right now. In 6-12months who knows :-)
