I'm not sure if the things I am discussing are directly applicable to your situation with BBN but if you think some of this stuff could work and are willing to try it, why not ask BBN if they would consider some sort of interim agreement while you work out the details. I guess I'm the kind of guy who always looks for a creative, off-the-wall, "think different" kind of solution to a problem in negotiations. The worst the other folks can say is no. But sometimes they say hmmm...
Sure, but only the assymetry that results from BBN customers ASKING for more than they OFFER. Owen
