Len,
Good response, and I agree with you.
But in this case I think the owner of the company is both paranoid and very
cheap and he is not willing to pay anything more. He said that if I can't
do it will find another company that can. I just thanked him for his
business and told him good luck with his next provider.
Solved my problem :)
Heimir.
