+Contact Brian.Onn@Canada.Sun.COM (Brian Onn) Unfortunately it died, and
+although a lot of people have expressed interest nobody has come forward

+functionality in a proprietrary library which should still be helpful as
+we have the interfaces. Alan Cox (a.cox@li.org) has the information
+required to write the state machine if someone is going to do the work.

+is in alpha.
