<p class="xmsonormal">Thanks for the input David, Bevan & Jared, also to the many others that responded privately.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">The call home idea is a good one Jared. One big advantage is the ability to be a bit carrier agnostic and use the provider with the best signal strength in the area. Mikrotik also do a bunch of gear with LTE support which seems to be pretty
flexible. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">I would prefer the public address delivered direct to the endpoint though (less moving parts… got to hate VPN lockups).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Far out Bevan $80k in OOB connections! We’re a touch shy of that.. eh hem..
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">Had I known how popular a topic this was I would not have worried about creating noise on the list!<o:p></o:p></p>
