Hardware Woes

[Devin Smith]

Hi Julian, while I can't offer to send it to the UK, I will certainly
set up a RaQ4 or Qube 3 online for your use.  Just email me and I will
take the steps to get it online for you, as I'd really love to see you
have your mailscanner package easily integrated with the RaQ/Qube!
Steve Bassi took an older version and made a .pkg file for the RaQ4, but
it is getting outdated and I'd love to have the v4 code available.  :-)
