Please do. There are many rural ISPs and WISPs that might benefit from a 
decent look at these products, or any open source clones that might be 
available to test & refine these tricks.

Pricing for even a fractional DS3 in the rural US is still very high. 
Being able to shift bandwidth from a colo facility in a large city to a 
remote site served by 3 or 4 consumer grade broadband links could be a 
helpful development, if the bottom line works out.

Thanks,
Ken
