FWIW, I've had top-notch support from Abatron.  Also, back when my
company bought a bunch of BDI's they were around half the price of the
nearest competitor and less cumbersome to use.  Maybe there are cheaper
alternatives now, I don't know.  Obviously, YMMV.

And no, I don't get a kickback from them... :)
