One other item is that some ISP's like us can't do the browser plug in option because
of the "dial-up accelerator" products already embedded to the browser , installing
paxfires technology on top of our accelerator plug in would just chew IE and its tcp stack.
Also they state they only proxy A record lookups thus no mx lookups. Either way,
it seems scary to me. But I do agree this is a revenue stream that Mickeysoft
is probably making a ton off of.
