Ok Zachary you got me.  This is the way we do mobile pops to cover various
latas with less equipment.  It's hell on the staff here but it beats hot
potato routing.

Sorry, I couldnt resist everyone, he got me...

That depends...  was the switch cigarette lighter able to give you enough
power to turn on the switch? Did you have a wireless or satelite link? :)

I squized a Cascade 500 loaded into the hatch of my Stealth and drove 672
miles.  Technically since that's a 9.6 gig backplane does that qualify my
car as the fastest sports car?

Well...  We tried the ultimate test today.  I drove about 140km with a
Stratacom BPX 8600 and power supply in the trunk of my 1998 New Beetle
(with the back seat  folded down). It was a bit hard to get it, but once
in it fit quite nicely and didn't move around since it was so heavy.  Now
all I have to do is try a 7513...
