Still the same, as far as I know.  I obtained the information under NDA
about 4 months ago.  The NDA terms are *quite* reasonable as far as
those things go (and believe me, I'm a cheapskate...), unlike Deltec who
offers their protocol under NDA terms so bad that apparently only two
companies have gotten the information -- one was Compaq, the other was
some other very very large company. Yes, I know, NDA is a pain... but
give APC some credit for being remarkably reasonable compared to their
competitors.
