I'm not too surprised since uport is reported to have filed Chapter 11 !
Some associates ($$$) and I have discussed the prospects of buying Microport,
or their licenses. I too have been trying to get hold of someone out
in Scotts Valley, but I've come up dry. We are seriously interested. I
think Microport had a basically sound product, but poor marketing,
distribution, support, etc.. If you, or someone on the net have any
phone numbers or addresses, please give me a call at (415) 463-6838,
or reply thru the net.

p.s. - that goes for you too, Microport !
