Yeah, I was afraid you weren't well 
To change the subject some ...
Have you heard ANYTHING from deltaComm lately?  Now, I'm definitely
not asking you to betray any confidences, but I can tell you (one
beta tester of theirs to another) I have absolutely zero knowledge of
what is going on there.  I still check their bulletin board once in a
while, but far as I can tell, Telix is dead in the water - no indication
of any activity at deltaComm at all in the bbs message base.
Looks to me that deltaComm now is nothing but an ISP for the Research
Triangle Park area.  Their web site still promotes Telix (and why
not?  SOMEBODY may still send in a check or two..) but no
Telix-related info has been posted in many a month.  Their 'staff'
web page is sheds some interesting light on current activities, I
think.  The page was last updated Feb 21 of this year and lists the
following:
  Current Employees' Pages and Addresses:
      Jeff Woods, President & CEO (jeff@delta.com)
      Jeff Byers, Customer Services (jeff.byers@delta.com)
      Doug Burr, Customer Services (doug@delta.com)
      Merritt Bradsher, Director of Marketing (merritt@delta.com)
Note - total of four people and nobody listed as having anything to
do with programming.  Some of our old programming buddies (as well as
Zack) are shown later in the page:
  Former Employees' New Locations:
      Peter Gruhn, is now a software engineer at Realtime Performance
      in Sunnyvale, CA. He can be mailed at gruhn@nando.net or
      peter@.rp-int.com.
      Zack Jones now works for Homenet, an ISP in Warner Robins, GA,
      and has a growing software business of his own, ZT
      Technologies.
      Eric Thav, now in the MIS department of Ft. Lauderdale's Citrix
      Systems, Inc., developers of NT-extender WinFrame.
      Brad Stowers, Software Development (bstowers@pobox.com)
Fortunately, we have a fairly robust and useful set of programs with
the current dos and win95 versions of Telix, but doesn't look to me
that we're every gonna see ANYTHING beyond what we've got now.
At least in Colin's doldrums when nothing was happening, people were
still talking to us.  I think the only way we'll ever see anything
more is if Jeff does what Colin did and sells the rights to somebody
else.
Oh, well.  It was fun while it lasted.
