There's no sense in just jumping into ANYTHING, least of all LMS. And of course you're quite right. LMS implementations that I have seen have been incredibly sleazy, like most things the baby bells do. I can only look back fondly to the days when I subcontracted out to do some work in the 713/409 uplink here in Houston. In those days it was just after the time when the AT&T oart of the building got cut off from the SWB part. Those folks couldn't even talk to each per policy. There were lots of heads being scratched among SWB suits whilst gazing over rack after lovely rack of Western Electric load monitoring computers. * Via ProDoor 3.1 * RNet 1.02: COSUARD Net:COSUARD BBS-Houston, Tx-713-487-3911
