Perhaps this is a bit snarky, but... let me point out that an ISP should 
have folks who know this stuff on staff.  I sure wouldn't purchase 
services, from an outfit that was so bereft of technical expertise as to 
buy such an appliance without any evaluation or testing, much less pay 
$40,000 for it.  Your problem is not a technical one, its a staffing 
problem.
