I picked a likely looking name from the "contact us" page. Make sure that you only write if you are willing to pay for the product if they make it, and then be sure to tell them that if you are. When I responded to their standard "we have no plans for a freebsd port" response with some reasonable, calm information about market share, demographics, etc. the sales droid actually responded with something to the effect of, "Hmmm..
