Here's a reseller in Texas: http://webplus.totalaccess.net/cgi-bin/webplus.cgi?script=/webpshop4.6.1/store.wml I bought a 2015 from them back in January or so. That was before the abTOTAL came out. I haven't done extensive testing with it, but I'm not too crazy about it. It does have telnet and http access which is cool. Because they're here in Texas, I had to pay taxes, and I swear the shipping would've been less if EComm had shipped it! Ticked me off!. I think it would've cost me less to buy direct from Tranzeo. I wasn't too crazy about them (Total Access) as a company either. Got different responses when troubleshooting the thing them: "We'll give you a discount!" (1 week later) me: "hey! Where's my discount" them: "we never said we'd give you a discount" me: "but 'Joe', the company owner said he would!" them: "uhhh.. he's not here right now, so I can't confirm that." --++-- me: "This thing quit working after 4 days" them: "ESSID can't have spaces. That's your problem!" me: "Oh, yeah.. why did it work for 4 days?" them: "Well... it won't work right. Change your ESSID." me: (click, click, click) "ok... now what? It still won't work." them: "uhhh.. send it to Canada for repair" *sigh* It's been up for about 2 months now (with a friend/customer. I wouldn't dream of putting in with a stranger after that bad first-start). The client has no complaints about it. Aren't the Tranzeo's just Zcomax with a different label? I prefer the airTOTALs.
