Down boy ;-) I've not tried the tt units. We've still got a billing dispute running with them and they won't ship me one of the quick bridges. I've known about them and asked for a test unit since before they were generally released.
Don't know about Tranzeo. I wrote them off long ago, much for the same issues as I recall. And I've never heard anything good about the support. Never seen their guys on any of the lists like SB. And I'll bitch about Proxim. Tried to find drivers on their pos web site lately??? Sheesh. Am I loyal to SB? You bet. I've always been loyal to my vendors/manufacturers. I expect that out of my CUSTOMERS too. I don't expect them to jump ship at the first sign of trouble after things have been so good for so long. I know what it's like to have strange problems. It takes a while to find them sometimes. But they usually get found. Rest assured that I'm looking around for a better mouse trap. I always am. We ordered a couple more wet 11's the other day (I'm NOT a linksys fan but need an option for some customers other than sb). And I'll get one of the quickbridges too. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "George" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 10:10 AM Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Brand New APPO's! > It would be different if it was the lowest price solution and we knew > they didn't work well. > But it's not the lowest price solution and others at the same price or > lower are working well. > You buddies over their at Teletronics have a lower priced unit that > seems to be working flawlessly.
