I'd still like to know why they disconnected. That has impacted some of
our software development peoples' efforts, since they can no longer discuss
problems/configurations via email. Was Roy the only person there who could
maintain a mail link? Do they intend to re-connect at a later date? Will
there be a different contact path for email someday? I got the impression
that upper management ordered the plug pulled, and I'd like to know why.
If for no other reason, so that I can guard against it here.....

It never has. Around here, an incompetent manager makes twice what a good
engineer does, plus has profit-sharing. And this is a long way from 
Silicon Valley.

I've crossposted this and directed followups to news.admin, since this
is diverging away from 386 unix matters....
