You also should consider subscribing to the isp-equipment list. Here is a
link to the subscription page for that and other similar lists.
http://isp-lists.isp-planet.com/subscribe/
Warning: This list will fill up your mailbox fast, so set upo a rule to
sort these messages into a separate folder. And still, you won't want to
keep it going for too long. It is a great way to get a feel for equipment
and prices from established merchants. Prices vary widely. Some prices are
rotten. Others are great.
