[Deepak Jain <deepak () ai net>]

You really, really, want to talk to a professional who was been through 
a few of these designs with past customers. You can always tweak a 
design for better usability for your needs, but you definitely don't 
want to get burned by a rather steep learning curve in terms of capex 
dollars.

Just my advice,
