There is another thread here you may want to subscribe to-> Tri Five Thread .

S&P mentioned above provides a DVD to give you some information. It can be overwwhelming.

I have found, after the fact, that there are sources for some of the stuff other than S&P for less $. But overall, they have a good variety of the stuff, and are great support. Very friendly and willing to work with you. So for that, I'm willing to pay more for some stuff.

I was wishing that I had someone I could just actually talk to when I started. If you want to PM me, I don't mind finding some time to give you a call and chat. I have IP phone service, so I don't have any LD costs, and I could call you if you interest. I'm not an expert...just now doing my first and only conversion.

Several of us are doing similar swaps. Between us we can probably answer most of your questions or point you to where to find answers. Good luck if you decide to proceed.
