I was actually thinking about TSX-32 when I wrote that.  I've never 
run TSX-32, but have run TSX-11.  I wasn't aware they were still 
around.  I'm actually a little surprised that the website has been 
updated since I was last there.  Although as the price list is from 
June of 2001, I have to question how alive they actually are.
