PC Router is again available in PUB/PCROUTE  directory of anonymous FTP at 
accuvax.acns.nwu.edu.  It is now copywrited by LANPort, INC. of 
Pleasanton, CA.

We have the following statement from Peter Roll, Vice President for 
Information Services at Northwesthern University:

"Northwestern University has licensed distribution of the PCroute 
software to LANPort, Inc. of Pleasanton, CA.  Those currently using 
this software are permitted by LANPort to continue at no charge.  
It will be to your advantage to register this use with LANPort 
to receive information on updates and improvements to the product.  
Those interested in obtaining and licensing use of PCroute must now 
contact LANPort for information:  Etienne Taylor, 415-462-8700.

Northwestern University's purpose in licensing PCroute is to 
ensure it is supported, maintained, and improved to become a 
more valuable product for Northwestern and for other existing and 
future users.  The only way to assure this is to license it to a 
firm that is interested and willing to invest in it as a product, 
with the assurance of some return on its investment."

We have the following statements in a letter of 4/18/91 from Etienne 
Taylor President of LANPort, Inc.

"Please forgive the confusion we caused on the "Internet" this week.  
...it is not our intention at this time to charge any educational or 
non-profit institution any thing for this version of PCroute.

It is our intention to produce a much enhanced version of the product to 
be sold to the commercial market.  We will then make this version of 
PCroute available to the Internet community at no, or nominal cost, 
perhaps through site license agreements.

Our intention has never been, no will it ever be, to make money off the 
backs of our most valued resource, the current users of PCroute.  Rather 
we are counting on continued good raport and guidance from these most 
experienced users in the further development of the commercial version of 
PCroute.

In the meantime you have our permission to continue to distribute PCroute, 
via anonymous FTP under the same terms and conditions, until further 
notice.  The only change that I would ask is that you change the copyright 
notice read "LANPort, Inc. Pleasanton, CA (415) 462-8700".

...Please, do not hesitate to give any PCrouter user any of my following 
numbers.  Work # (415) 462-8700 / Fax # (415) 462-4805"
