technical support person. We are looking for a person with a mix of
interper
sonal skills and technical know-how.  Our growth can provide you
with the potential for further advancement of your career, in the areas of
management and programming.

We want someone who enjoys helping people solve problems. Most contact with
our customers will be via telephone, but we also make contact with faxes,
electronic mail, and through CompuServe and Bix. We also expect our
technical staff to go to trade shows, so we are looking for people who can
answer technical questions face-to-face.

On the technical side, we would like you to have a working knowledge of UNIX
utilities, some knowledge of common MS-DOS or OS/2 applications, an
understanding of systems programming, and a general problem solving nature.
While much of the material can be learned on the job, we require that you
have the right background to make this training relatively straight-forward.

We expect all our staff to have good verbal and written skills.  For
technical support, we are looking for abilities in organization, as well as
the ablility to talk to people in a wide range of technical expertise.
You should be able to listen to callers, and quickly find their concerns

This position reports to the Manager of Technical Support, and to the
Product Development Manager. It is a technical staff position, but it
also includes some interaction to the marketing and sales department.
