The price of turn key solutions! The end result is really no different
to what various people on the group, including Phil and me, have been
doing for some time. But for us to get to the point that we have a
genuinely usable system has required lots of messing about with
different pieces of hardware and software. Still our solutions are not
perfect, but of course they are much cheaper than $27000 ;-)

I am certainly planning to do a full blown demo of my setup at UKHA
2004, and I may even persuade Phil to bring one of his client boxes
along too (though I haven't asked him yet).
