Thanks for all the info. I'll look into Yipes sounds interesting. I didn't
think any of these companies were actually offering services now. Have any
of you actually used Yipes. What type of CPE had you have to invest in.
Also, is it any good if the service provider go down under.
I guess it would be a chance for me to learn alot about tunneling other
protocols over IP because these guys are bridging a bunch of stuff now.
Thanks,
