Nice idea...but at least some of the bigger providers are already spread so thin they can't monitor their own routers. When are they going to find the time to read router configs for their customers' routers? They'd have to hire more staff for this...and they'd have to actually pay more than minimum wage. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[email protected]> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/message.
