At this point it's a joke. Any Fortune 500 (or Fortune 1000s) company will have multiple sites and want to utilize VPNs. RACE's stuff gets in the way, and doesn't do most of the rudimentary stuff concerning call routing. Just slows the system down - for what 18k data and a voice connection over a single phone line. A 2 meg file will take an eternity to upload/download over a phone line - not very efficient time management for an exec earning $70 an hour or a medium level guy earning $50 an hour.
The technological revolution is meant to increase productivity. If a guy earns $6 an hour (minimum wage) and he can save 8 hours per month idle time by using DSL, the DSL pays for itself. That's 2 hours per week, or 24 minutes a day. But how many 7-11 worker are going to be commuting.
If he earns an average $30 an hour thats about 75 minutes a month or about 20 minutes a week or 4 minutes a day.

The bigger you are the worse RACE's stuff looks. May be they will pull in a few more single office mom 'n' pops, and pull the wool over a few inexperianced IT managers at some branches of some corps but that will be it.
