Just another two cents to add to the pot... Imagestream has been the best router company to work with I have ever seen (and I've been through lots of them). Their support, their hardware, their prices and their software have all been solid and top notch. I can count on one hand the vendors I feel this way about after being in the business for 20 years.

Welcome to Capitalism. The Vendor can charge and support what they want. We as the purchaser can decide to simply go w/ the flow they set ... OR ... buy elsewhere. While I personally believe companies like vYatta, PFSense, and others who give a list of supported hardware are wise in their approach - There is nothing wrong w/ how ImageStream is doing their model. Simple - if you don't like it - don't buy it. I would venture to say that those on the list who are complaining most do not have an ImageStream solution in place. There are alternatives - That being said - from what I have seen ImageStream seems to be an awesome solution - but some people like apples - other oranges. Some will only use cisco - others will use IS others will use vyatta and others who knows what -- I cannot blame any company for not supporting another companies hardware - and while I think the warranty voidance is crappy - I can more than understand the policy. If you had a client that installed a Cat 3 cable in place - vs cat 6 to the unit on the side of the house - thinking they were fixing it... would you not charge for the service call? What about the client that replaces it w/ cat 5 but crimps the ends wrong... It is hard to support what is not your own. Can't fault them - and if your not happy then simply buy something else ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
