Thanks. For the input. IIRC, Kagoor was top of the food chain
prior to Juniper "assimilation" of them (again ;) not coming
down on friends @ Juniper). In the next two quarters, we will
be looking to expand to two POP's @ DS3+ speeds and with
Audiocodes demolishing what was/is left of Netrake and with
nCite's being all but phased out, my concerns are:

1) Scalability
2) Longevity of the developer (Waves @ Newport Networks)
3) Performance

Outside of the far end NAT issues, this can be addressed
with either stun servers, tunnels and so on, so right now
this is not that great a concern.

FYI, to keep good manners, I will from here on strip the
cc so responders don't get duplicates (Sorry Scott, etc)
