I'm not sure how Microtech answers your calls "over there", but they where  
close to rude to me when I wanted some information about the RunningBack  
software. After two 15 min waitings, I just stroke that firm off my list. They  
may have good hardware/software, but their infolines aren't any good!

BTW. We have used a WangDAT for over a year now, without any special software.  
Only GNU tar in crontab and it just works...;-)
