Please do. There are many rural ISPs and WISPs that might benefit from a
decent look at these products, or any open source clones that might be
available to test & refine these tricks.
Pricing for even a fractional DS3 in the rural US is still very high.
Being able to shift bandwidth from a colo facility in a large city to a
remote site served by 3 or 4 consumer grade broadband links could be a
helpful development, if the bottom line works out.
Thanks,
Ken
