Your boss may have to tell them that he has a piece of acceptable 1394-enabled end-point equipment, such as a 1394 TV. Look up a few of the Mitsubishi model numbers and arm him with one of those. If that doesn't work, THEN get tough with them as per the note from Steve. Good luck, Mark On 11/28/

Hi Steve, Thank you very much for the info. Let's take this scenario: My boss calls COX and they turned down my boss's request. They won't enable the firewire. What should he tell? Is there any document that my boss can mention w/c will force the guys to enable it? Steve Adeff writes:
