   Below is the finger file of insignia on netcom.com:
   Login name: insignia                    In real life: Insignia Solutions
   Directory: /u8/insignia                 Shell: /bin/csh
   Never logged in.                                                 
   No unread mail                                                       
   No Plan.

   So I guess it would be fair to say that yes, they do have a NetCom account
   and no, they never use it.

Au contraire, a second's further inspection reveals that mail to
insignia@netcom.com is forwarded to Insignia Solutions Inc.
aka <sophia@insigmv.uucp>. Not that any of this Internet detective
work and bickering matters a damn. You can call them or email them or
write them or fax them. Ok?
