We just installed 13 TC base units!  The hell we are going to drop them 
altogether.  Plus, we have been having a good experience with the product for 
the most part. 

For higher quality links we go right to Aperto PTMP.  Also with good success 
and good performance. 

Then a customer can purchase Tsunami PTMP from us if they need more bandwidth 
than that.
We have also used Motorolla 5.8GHz canopy, but I don't have much experience 
with that. 

I really think it's a good solution spectrum for small home office to some of 
the largest MT businesses. 

What I am really looking for is a product with reliability and a 5 mile range, 
that cost's as much as an ADSL bridge. More for Resi.  We have DSL too, but 
with the quality of copper in 40% of the market, people are often left desiring 
more bandwidth, and stuck with their performance based on their distance from 
the DSLAM.

I think they (Karlnet) would do well to continue to sell the KN-50 board.  
Especially if it can support higher powered cards.
Or, hint hint, drop the price on the KN-100/105 boards to the price of a KN-50 
with software.  
They have to go down in price sometime.. right?

Yeah right!  I'm reminded of the DEC/Compaq merger... the CPQ/HP merger...

Uh huh.  Find a solution now, guys.  For if you don't, you'll have some
pissed off "not-yet-installed" customers when they decide to no longer make
whatever product or software it is you've been using.

I believe karlnet stated that the merger would not impact pricing or
products
