I encourage anyone considering doing business with Dennis here to browse
messages from him on the bsdi-users mailing list, which has archives at
http://www.nexial.com. Just a few snippets:

If they're idiots, maybe Linux users will enjoy insults with each
purchase of a Dennis router card. But as for me, I avoid individuals
and organizations who insult me. As I said before:
"I won't be buying anything from Dennis."

Praising Linux? Where do you get that? I dont like linux at all, but there is
an increasing market for it. there is a decreasing market for BSD/OS. And
Linux is free. Its feasible to use it. Its not feasible to use a product
that costs $1000. to build a router.

Theres plenty more where that came from. Be wary of him.
