Ask U of Wisconsin how that worked out for them when Netgear shipped some

It's one thing to come up with a solution that works for the 300 (total wild guess) people
on this list.  But to be useful for field deployable, it really needs to be able
to handle a "every Comcast customer in a major metro area", because we *do*
want this stuff to work well when this makes it into the CPE that Comcast
gives every new customer, right? :)
