[EAS] EAS D Day-10

[Tom Taggart]

If the FCC's glorified clerks fan out on July 1st looking
for all those evil-doers who don't have their toy working
yet there will be lots of screams.  And (***political
message coming***) more suggestions that we need to end the
reign of terror from Washington.

Let's cut the balogna.  This is a very fragile system. I
have both of my Sage units working with help from Harold
Price..but I have a feeling that all it would take is a
replaced router, a sullen switch, or a corrupted cable modem
to cause future confusion in getting these things to talk to
the internet. Out here in the real world we don't IT and
networking experts readily available.  Of course, for those
folks working with state mental institutions known as the
public school and university systems, it gets even worse.  

The FCC has not helped the process with it's confusion on
what is or is not approved equipment, and, for that matter,
what the box will be allowed to do.
