I think perhaps we have an acronym collision here.  I read Scott's
comment to mean "Customer Premises Equipment", since that was the only
parsing that didn't introduce a conflict.

However, I read Tony's reply as "Customer Provided Equipment", since
that's my usual parsing of that acronym.

In this case, it makes quite a difference.  Clarification?

Better: why not, Tony?
