: Rexon did move halfway across the U.S., so their old phone numbers no longer work.  
: This probably started rumors about them disappearing.

My question is:  So does Rexon own Wangtek?  I believe the original post
talked about Wangtek, then Wangdat, then mentioned that Rexon owned Wangdat,
and gave the Rexon phone/fax numbers, etc..

I need the Wangtek numbers, so if Rexon *does* own Wangtek, that means I
need to call the numbers below, right?

: New numbers: sales: 1-800-4BACKUP
:              faxback: 303-776-1085
:              tech support: 1-800-344-4463
:              main #: 303-682-3700

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