Actually, the guy I spoke with at TransACT this morning (on their residential
users helpdesk) was well aware of the attraction of peer-peer networking
and is pursuing a date for it through the "powers that be". I asked him to
unsubscribe me from the "TransWEB" data service and he suggested I
hold off on that for a day or two until he determines when peer-peer will
be available. So... it could be anytime real soon now!
