Bear Down, re. DLJ, are you using the online variant, DLJ Direct?

Do they let you short stocks below a certain price?

Here's something I noticed in DLJ Direct's commission schedule:

<<NOTE: Before accepting orders on low priced stocks, we require stock in the account for sales ...>>

If DLJ really does let you short most of the BB stocks you want, this sounds attractive, since the two Canadian brokers I asked wanted about $90 commission per trade, whereas DLJ has a $20 minimum commission.
