Lee> Unfortunately I'm not the one to ask. But assessing the overall picture, I would guess that Franklin did not have the software up and running to suit those that called.

In short though, we could have missed the smaller boats, awaiting the Merchant or War ships. I see it as> Network, hardware, software...............all in 1 package. There is not, and I repeat not another company doing just that. So why is that such a big deal? Let me ask a question?
