I called Infocom, makers of Liaison, today to see why the product has not
shipped yet.  When I talked to them in May they said sometime in June.  When
I talked to them yesterday they said they just added more features and it
will ship in August....maybe the first week.  Unknown to me a workgroup
in my building one floor up have been Beta testing the product.......
they like it but a 1200 baud modem is a VERY slow way to go.  They say a 
9.6KB, 19.2KB or 56KB line is the ONLY way to go.  (Imagine do a 1M file
transfer at 1200 baud!!!!)
