Thanks for partly setting the record straight.  A good illustration of
evil marketing practices.

However, I don't think it's fair to say Gauntlet came in fourth.  If
you're going by list order, then Fort Knox came in third.  Eh?  ;-/

OBTW, public apologies for my earlier ill-informed statement in this
thread about Raptor.  We had a local study done that said that for it
to do everything that we wanted it to do, routes would have to be
available to the Internet.  I extrapolated too much from that part.  It
was possible to cut back route availability by removing functionality.
But I don't (partly because of that report) have personal experience
with Raptor.
