If there's copyright violations I would *_back_away_slowley_*... tell them
is that there's a lot of bugs to be worked out and it would be less
expensive to buy duplicate servers (they're cheap at wholesale) than to
invest the time in hacking it.

I took a good close look at that box at the factory in Markham, talked to
some of the people involved in it. In the end I wasn't satisfied that the
box was any more secure than any linux box I've configured, and the single
point of failure too risky.
