Good.  Then you should be able to finally take me off your list for
good.  Right?  The mail address you're spamming is:

I haven't used those features, but the docs seem to say they are
possible.

I talked to you on the reflector when I couldn't just sign up for yearly
service, and you told me something like "you are the programmer and that
was a web site problem.  In case you don't remember, the sign up form
would only let me have basic service along with dialup for $200.  I was
using Freedombox to try to sign up at the time.
The form would allow me to pay for more expensive products, but not for
just yearly service.

I think this thread is going no where, so I'll stop responding.  If your
customers are happy, fine.  I'll stick with my current system.
