Lash-up used in a sentence

Lash-up in a sentence as a noun

I mean, even if you manage to get a day in court, who are the jurors going to believe - the ISP with the $50,000 traffic measurement box, or you with a BSD router lash-up?

If you're pitching this at non-techies, you'll also have to get them over the hump of realising that a lash-up is easily an order of magnitude cheaper than a decent, real-world-robust version.

But yours is the only reply, so I suspect it's really not worth the time and effort I would have to expend, given that I don't already have any of the necessary skills to take it beyond a quick command-line lash-up that works on my specific setup.
