	NH=> Can I suggest you go and have a chat to with those actually
responsible for P&L in operators, ie not the R&D bits....now this *is* snake
handling!  I think this may give you a good insight of the commercial
reality as to why we can't ignore the support (and not just short-term) of
various types of client networks.  Unfortunately I don't think you will hear
these people speaking on the list, so you would have to seek them out.

	I am however, somewhat surprised by the lack of operator's comments
on the list........maybe they are not tuned-in or maybe they are and don't
care (and, if so, then so be it)?
