I've mentioned it several times here. You can email to merlyn@digiboard.com
(perhaps it's digibd.com? Try both) for details. If you can't seem to get
in touch mail me and I'll fish out their USmail address.

Unfortunately, as Jeff Mann posted recently, that board still has BAD problems
with A/UX 2.0.1. It crashes daily. Last I heard, it hadn't been fixed yet.

If the situation has changed I'm sure Jeff or Brian (from Digiboard) will
say so.
