OT i think,sorry for voicing my opinion on this,but this guy has relied on you to keep his servers up and running and has paid no regard to the fact that you do this for a living,ie late payment.

but is still reliant on you supplying voip,and has not seeked your obvious expertise or opinion,i personally would drop him like a sack of spuds off a cliff.

sorry if i have offended anyone but people like that make my blood boil.

alex the grrrr noob

I have to say that I don't actually care. He's a continual late payer and  pays by cheque too. Unfortunately he still has his PBX & VoIP via me, so I  can't shake him off that easilly....  I wished him luck in his new MS venture.  Gordon
