I wrote in and asked a bunch of questions yesterday, as I tend to do every 90 days or so. Here is the latest from Medicom, which is the same story they've been shilling for a few years now. The line sure seems dead - I wish they would just confirm it or offer some explanation as to why there's been such a gap.
