Yes, the kernal is extensively hacked.  You dedicate a machine to running
the data server. Thus the comparison is against BLI's IDM,  not
against other software based systems.  It's a good
product that we would have seriously considered instead of our BrittonLees
if we hadn't needed this about 6 years ago.  We may yet buy one.
Unfortunaly, their sales people aren't that sharp, but that's
kind of universal, isn't it?
