   Hello Richard,

   I disagree.   
      
   You have to look al the bigger picture. It violates the rule "give them so   
   much, they will never come back for more". Giving them just a /64 is simple.   
   But then some will come back for more and then you have extra work. You have   
   to give them a different modem and you have to do the adminstration. Of course   
   giving everyone a slightly more complex modem that can deal with a /56 is also   
   extra work to develop the firmware, but that has to be done only once for all   
   customers and you need only one type of modem for all customers. That reduces   
   the load on the helpdesk.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
