Well, kinda, considering everyone was freaking out over the
*last* time FSOL put out a "limited" product of 10,000 even though that
was sooo many at the time the velcro ISDNs were floating around for months
and months after the release date. Nowadays 10,000 *is* getting kinda limited
for FSOL since they're even more popular. So 100,000 is limited in the
sense that it's not unlimited, but might as well be for all practical
purposes.... ;)
