Same here. The OR-U is sold at a premium price point, but the feature
set does not measure up. If they dropped the price by about $200
(street) I'd feel much better about the existing product.
Then (Livingston, please) bring out a new premium model at the existing
price point. I'd like to see this model ship with SIMM slots, two POTS
ports, BACP, NAT and VPN. I'd also like to see it future proffed with
enough CPU horsepower to give it a useful life expectancy.
I've been waiting for BACP, NAT and VPN for a long time..... We need
these features just to keep up with the competition.
