I think what's being said here about Wandtek is misleading. True, they are under
(chapter 11?) bankruptcy protection and are reorganizing. But I have dealt with them
recently and found excellent technical support.
Unfortunatelty, their web server got the axe.
Rexon did move halfway across the U.S., so their old phone numbers no longer work.
This probably started rumors about them disappearing.

(I am not associated with Wangtek or Rexon in any way.)
