You're correct, they haven't said that. The product is so new that all the details haven't filtered out yet, IMO. Were I a sales rep pushing it however, this seems like an obvious application.

Retrofit: again, it's new; I don't have all the details. I've heard there are several config options at initial purchase, but also there is no upgradability. On the other hand, I believe it won't be released until later in the Summer, so a lot can change between now and then.

Limiting: the NC "real" market is small today. Corporate campuses seem to be the obvious starting point. May expand beyond that later in the coming year. You know yourself how quickly things change in the tech market. Two years ago, I never dreamed of having 96 Mb of RAM and a 56K modem. By the end of this year, I'll be using 256K RAM and a cable modem. A few housing contractors I've met have been receiving requests for wiring 10-Base-T networks inside residential homes. Mom, daughter, and dog "Spot" on NC&#151not an unforeseeable future. I already know a few families with multiple connections so they can surf the net individually. It's not so strange&#151just "different"&#151Think Different&#153. <gg>
