At first: Please ever send at least a carbon copy to the list you've
asked first. This have 2 reasons:
1) The list is archived and any later similar question could easily
   be answered by searching the archives.
2) The replyer may not be able to help you further than (s)he already
   did.

Second: Sorry, I don't know. Nearly every big manufacturer should do.
The new onstream streamer, for example, do. But I'm disappointed by
onstream, so if I were you, I would use another manufacturer, eg. IBM,
HP, ...
Searching the archives or ask google may help.
