we have been trying to get that information prior to IETF Quebec city 
and provide then all the info. However, in Canada, it seems that this 
usage is not that offered, and in most shops we went, the salespeople 
were not able to help us out.

If we would have found a good site/data/info/... for this before IETF, 
then we would have provided info and/or service to make the shopping 
convenience as simple as possible.

sorry.

Marc.
