In speaking with various companies regarding smaller increments of rack time (8 hours), I have found that trying to administer the smaller increments can be an administrative nightmare. After seeing what Brad and Marc's company has to offer in terms of rack setups, I can understand why they have such a long lead time to get access. Their setup is incredible! They'll probably have to add more racks because of the demand.

OTOH, smaller increments make sense for a lot of reasons as well. Suppose I want to spend the last couple of weeks before the test doing certain specific things - voice, ATM, Cat configuration, for example? A couple of 8 hour sessions ( or less ) might be just the thing. Also, Brad, at present your racks require how much lead time to schedule? Last time I looked, it was weeks to months. One other place I looked it was days to a couple of weeks. I don't know at what point it makes it worth yours or any competitor's operation to add more racks, and I am not sure what the tolerance is for long lead times to get access. Supply and demand meet impatience. :-> I will say that in my experience, it has always been easy to reach someone in your office to check out various things, or to do voice testing. This is not always true elsewhere. JMHO Chuck ""Brad Ellis"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > GROUPSTUDY MEMBERS: PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THIS SITE WITH CCBOOTCAMP.
