To be honest Josh, didn't you tell me your problems were with what was at one 
time a sister company, Radwin, and not Ceragon? Yet you call the company 
"Ceragon" when you've told me it was really Radwin. It really isn't fair to be 
tarring and feathering Ceragon due to the problems with Radwin-which was years 
ago and not even the same company.

Ceragon products in the licensed sphere are _strictly_ Ceragon designed and 
manufactured (I followed up on this the last time you were panning Ceragon so I 
could independently understand the situation). They are not even OEM'd from 
Radwin. Ceragon is an independent, publicly traded company. It was *started*, 
years ago by the same investment group that started Radwin.

For the record, we've been quite happy with Ceragon's products. The interface 
hasn't been a problem, but like Brad, I believe we tend to use the telnet 
interface. I've also been happy with Alvarion and Ubiquity in the unlicensed 
space. I have no personal interest in any of these companies, but don't think 
it's fair to malign a manufacturer when you don't actually have any experience 
with them as far as I can tell. When you did have problems it was with a 
related company, not this company, it was years ago (things DO change), and 
this company at least is no longer even a "sister" company (in the sense at 
least that it is now publicly traded).
