Anyone know how DTN is doing?  I know we can't get a comparison
with TradeStation at the moment, but maybe there are some on
this list who can comment on their overall capacity, etc.

My longer-term plans include moving to them, as they seem to
be the only service that doesn't restrict their customers to
the MS Windows platform, and my plan is to move to Linux.
It'd be nice if they weren't short of capacity.
