Well Kent,

I cannot answer your questions but for a complete evaluation of a vendors'
hardware and service capabilities take a look at www.evaluatorgroup.com.
These folks know all there is to know about all vendors and present an
independent opinion and evaluation.

I attended some seminars of the EG and was stunned by their knowledge. Maybe
it's a good start.

Let us know how it works out.
