Re: Getting Pilotmanager released as a Sun Product

The process is well underway.  Both parties have already signed nondisclosure
agreements, and, as I undertand it, Sun has already received the source code 
to start porting it to Solaris.

3Com is also working with PageMart, a pager company to integrate a pager in the 
back of the Pilot II.  This will in effect, change the Polot II to a III without 
the clamshell casing and IR sending capacity.  Beta testing is due to start in 
mid-July.
