Jeez Pat,
I didn't expect to get such a thoughtful answer. Let me be a total bore and say I can't find anything in your argument to nonconcur with. Some quarter they may stumble a bit and the MoMo guys will bring this one into range. A guy can hope, can't he? :))
Now, excuse me for a wee bit of OT. <I'm a statistician myself> Serenditity strikes. While your were composing BRCM #1098, I was at a "tool" sale and made a purchase. Passed up the chop saw, but put my money down on 3 Paradyne 2030 'statistical' multiplexers. $1.50 per copy. Wishing to RTFM, I tried the usual, Pardyne website, dogpile search, search on SI, no joy, my next move is Usenet. However, threaders, anyone out there know these boxes. (Also the Paradyne Model 2496-01). Any help would be appreciated. Also, USED EQUIPMENT FOR SALE! <ggg>
