And those still using the supported[1] AmigaDIS version of KA9Q
are presumably up shit creek without a paddle

[1] we have never been informed[2] that it is no longer supported,
many Amiga users got Demon accounts because Demon _support_ 
access with the Amiga.

[2] other than by an offhand comment by Richard Clayton in d.s
a couple of months ago which was _never_ officially confirmed
even though I specifically asked for it to be.

crossposted, it may save some people some problems, after all
they still have a few hours to read it, connect to the FTP
server and get some decent software (which AFAICT is ok...).

Gee, I feel kind of LIGHT in the head now, knowing I can't make
my satellite dish PAYMENTS!
