    As of 4/7, (today) they don't seem to be answering their bloody phone
either.  {Opps, Someone just answered after 40 or so rings....}
Not sales staff however...They are gone too I presume....

And I need to setup some sorta TCP/IP to my Novell Lan...
According to Micom [who the doc's from uport say they support], I need to
get some software from Uport in order to run it...Looks like I may be out of
luck unless we all buy them out... [I will kick in a $K or two to that end..]
