   Unfortunately, I do not see any more movement as far as PX development is   
   concerned on the part of Santronics.  PX just isn't their biggest seller, so I   
   guess they are figuring they should not put any more development effort into   
   the package, even though a lot more can be done to improve and enhance upon a   
   fairly decent product, and these days, other than BigTed, is all we have as   
   WINServer sysops.
