I would like to find out from owners of Kinetics Fastpaths, of all
types, what kind of reliabilty that they have experienced. I'm
especially interested in sites that have multipule Kinetics gateways.
The type of info I'd like is listed below.
If there are enough responses and/or requests I'll summerize to the net.

Execept for the one on my desk (every 2-3 days), only when we have
