You've got to be kidding me, dialup is huge. *Still!* Especially, when you 
have recip comp with the ILEC! Rural areas w/o Wireless, Cable, DSL.. what 
do they use? Dialup, *still*.

Agreed, 10 to 1 is harsh in *some areas*. Rural, 10 to 1 is too high. You 
gotta know your busies to determine this figure, 7 to 1 is entirely fair 
in a non-rural area.

Pricing, Bug Reports (i.e. all of the problems associated with previous 
digium products, google for them), and it'd be from you, who would shell 
out bug reports, spending $4k to tell me not to buy -- yet. :)
