The only problem with the ascend is that the cheapest one (Pipe 130) with
the IP routing feature and the compression (just cant live without the
compression) is $1300 and my bitsurfer was $300... And I would rather drop
a ton of time into this than a grand... Besides I probably won't make much,
if any money off of anything i do with the connection... sorta just a hobby
thing...
