<x-charset iso-8859-1>I have to deal with this exact same issue for the T-1, so you guys aren't alone. The one quality manufacturer of T-1 merged headers stopped a year ago, and we need to make 50 to make more. I have a waiting list, with a whopping 4 on it after 3 months. Getting guys to do more than "just talk" is tough. Thanks Toby!
