ZOMG. The topic, Steve -- *my* topic: the thing I said I was talking about -- was "Why is the markup so much higher on telephony hardware than on PC's?" Just that. Not any of the 57 varieties everyone seems to want to rewrite it into. I wasn't talking specifically about this 3com system, nor about NBX. And as it happens, a friend of mine who works for a wholesaler client is one of those 3com certified tech, so yes, I know what they put them through. How do you think his employers pay his salary, pray tell? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
