FYI:
        I recently asked about prototype FR4 manufacturers, and had a number of
very good responses.  Thanks.  I decided to send you the results of my
inquiries trying to remain as unbiased as possible.  I have decided to go
with Advanced Circuits.  If necessary, I'll repost any problems experienced.


        PCB-POOL http://www.pcbpool.com
        Based in Ireland, online quote seems too simplistic to be accurate.  I
would consider this place if I lived in Europe.
        Lead times are standard 15 days.

        Imagineering, Inc.  http://www.pcbnet.com (a PCB  broker => sporadic
quality?)
        Nice online quote questionaire,  $635.40 +200 NRE for five day turn (20
boards).

        Lanmark Circuits http://www.lanmarkcircuits.com
        Awaiting "automated" response within 24 hours - perhaps an XT does their
quoting ; )
        3 hours later:  $1350 for the boards, and $250 lot charge.

        Advanced Circuits https://www.4pcb.com
        Nice online quote questionaire.  Boards came back at $523 for five day turn
(20 pcs).

        PCBExpress http://www.pcbexpress.com
        brief online info on quotes,  limited hole sizes, no cut outs or routes on
board outline. Quote at $626 for 20 boards
        with a five day turn.
