Another recommendation for Ben here, we were very happy with him.  There
are a lot of little gotcha's when installing the Wiser etc. that an
installer will know about and save a lot of time and hair-pulling.  I know
a little bit about networks but I think some of it is more tricky than it
perhaps needs to be.
