I'm currently discussing things with some folk within DigiBoard
who have been helpful so far.  I'll let the list know when we have
a policy clarification.

Jordan, if you have the names of any DigiBoard people you spoke
with in Germany that I should pass along to Digi International in
Minnesota please forward them to me.

I'll cc: this to Digi under separate copy (I don't want them to
start to get mail directly from our list).

Peter
