Ok Zachary you got me. This is the way we do mobile pops to cover various latas with less equipment. It's hell on the staff here but it beats hot potato routing. Sorry, I couldnt resist everyone, he got me... Dave Zack lunch is on me at next nanog and Ill show you the mobile pop (still cant get the router in there, ideas???)

That depends... was the switch cigarette lighter able to give you enough power to turn on the switch? Did you have a wireless or satelite link? :)

I squized a Cascade 500 loaded into the hatch of my Stealth and drove 672 miles. Technically since that's a 9.6 gig backplane does that qualify my car as the fastest sports car?

Well... We tried the ultimate test today. I drove about 140km with a Stratacom BPX 8600 and power supply in the trunk of my 1998 New Beetle (with the back seat folded down). It was a bit hard to get it, but once in it fit quite nicely and didn't move around since it was so heavy. Now all I have to do is try a 7513...
