An EXELLENT business idea just hit me. If a vendor had 'Card Replacement Plan'. IE, for X a month ($20-50) if your ARC/NMC/DSP goes south you call them and they overnight you (i mean really overnight. next day incl sat.) a replacement card while your's is under warranty repair. When you get your's back you return the NIC/NAC and you are in business.
Face it.. most of us just want the hardware replacement and all new gear comes with 5 year warranty... unless you pay for support you have to wait 2-4 weeks for the repair.
We would win as we get the next day card from a vendor (who would keep the code up to date) and the vendor would win cause $50 a month from 50 ISP's is $2500 a month.. more than ehough to keep cards in stock and mail them out.
You pay $240-$600/year for your entire site coverage (for any/all cards) and you get what you want.. minimal downtime.
