I have also managed to get a couple of the "samples" to work (Mma 2.0.4.5
on a NeXTstation with OS 2.1) and also have Mike Mezzino's TeXdisplay 
utility which seems to be a fairly extensive and classic use of MathLink,
so perhaps it does work?

As for reaching WRI by E-mail. .. I've found that the "suggestions" box
suggestions@wri.com seems to go unanswered *forever* but that the "bugs"
one bugs@wri.com gets taken care of on a reasonable scale, ie < one week
and sometimes ~1 day which is not bad for such a service.  The fellow
I usually deal with there is named Ron Fisher and you might try putting 
ATTN: to him in the mail header (but don't tell him I gave you this idea!).

Hope this is Helpful --- Tom
