I have no financial interest in the company and I was just letting the list 
know about a cheap solution that works really, really well for a tremendous 
price. That's an elusive thing to find and I managed to locate something 
that many of us need.

All comparable solutions were $2000-3000 for the same number of sensors. I 
was half expecting to loose $445 to a scam company in Slovakia. I was very 
pleasantly surprised and I wanted to share my positive experience. I was 
excited because of the ease of setup and the dirt cheap price. If you don't 
need them. Ignore the post. If you do, or if someone searching the archives 
does, they will find my post useful.  It is a lot more on topic than a lot 
of the nanog noise.

Look at the archives. I've been a nanog poster for years and an ISP for 
even longer. Tellurian has been providing Internet access since 1995. I am 
_clearly_ not a spammer!

>Relatedly, don't capitalize words for emphasis,

It's a stylistic choice. I don't believe in html posting. In plain text, I 
have caps and _underlines_. That's it.

I haven't done anything wrong and I never wrote anything I will regret in 
the future. I really don't get it.

I am real. Look at our web site and look at the archives. I bought a cheap 
and elegant solution to a problem we all have and I wanted to share that 
positive experience with the list to benefit others. I was hesitant to buy 
it because it looked too good to be true and they are located in Slovakia 
(no offense to others from SK), but it works and I'm very impressed. Again, 
I have absolutely NO connection to them other than as a satisfied customer.
