P Codes!!! The dreaded p codes. Last year I was using DTN as a
backup feed. Let me tell you, DTN was the worst experience I had.
At least once a week I would get up in the morning to find that no
data was being received by the DTN receiver. I would have to call
DTN to get them to send out the pcodes, which took about 2 hours
or so. In this business you do get what you pay for....
