My guess is that they will emerge from chap 11 in a reorganized state
meaning that they will shed some stuff, focus on core business, and stiff
some investors/creditors including some states that have back sales tax
demands dating from the DD days.  So, I wouldn't worry about doing busines
with them.

Meanwhile, Computer Labs, Inc. (http://www.computerlab.com) does have a very
competitive TCP/IP terminal solution that's worth looking at.
