The biggest problem from me was that DHCP relay is a total no-go. So this
morning (10am) i called the jetstream upgrade team and asked for an M11, the
guy understood the urgency and took my cellphone number, agreeing to courier
one to the client. Same day service... sometimes Telecom impress me, could
this be one of those times ?

I got a call at 2pm this afternoon from the client. Bridge Communications
had called onsite, swapped the modem, system down. No pinholes configured so
no VPN. How hard is it for a technician to check the old configuration and
transfer the settings over to the new ? When are telecom going to realise
that businesses are not using these things as toys like home users ? What is
the point of having a technical contact for a site if you don't use them ?

Why am i ranting to an email que that cannot comfort me ? .... unless... is
there anyone from telecom listening ?!!
