Thanks for the responses from everyone.  They were very enlightening.  I 
was surprised there were not some serious complaints about MI.  It 
sounds like it is not a limiting factor for you right now.  I will be 
taking a closer look at DSF and TCF protocols.  If anybody has any links 
to information about those that I cannot easily find on the website I 
would appreciate it.
